The AA Badenhorst Family Wines Raaigras Grenache is an incredibly profound and energetic red wine, which shows off with a remarkable concentration, pithy grippy tannins and a multilayered aroma of blackberry fruit, red currants, cherries as well as rooibos tea. Its aromatic balance of fruity and savory nuances provides enjoyment of a special kind. A highly endowed top wine, which presents itself both delicate and at the same time powerful, lush and yet refined as well as stunning and at the same time light and thus gives an immensely harmonious whole.
The grapes for this top wine come from the oldest Grenache vineyard in South Africa, which was planted in 1952 and only 1599 bottles were produced.

The grapes were selected with great care in the vineyard and transported in small harvest boxes to the winery, where they were initially stored in a refrigerated container for 24 hours. The grapes were completely destemmed and fermented in cone-shaped concrete tanks, with the wine being pumped over once a day. Just before the completion of fermentation, the wine was pressed and transferred to 500 l oak barrels, where it completed a maturation of 12 months before being skimmed of the coarse lees and bottled unfiltered.
