The 2013 Soldaat is a wonderfully pure expression of Grenache Noir from the talented South African winemaker Eben Sadie. This elegant wine immediately opens up with gorgeous bright red berries followed by earthy minerals, dried floral, white pepper and exotic dried spices. It possesses a light to medium body with beautiful fine tannins, which are backed by a vibrant core of acidity. Many will associate the style of this Grenache to Pinot Noir from Burgundy, however with a closer look its terroir of granite rich soils and high elevation give this wine quite a unique character. 250 Cases made.
