Lighter in color this year, the 2021 Old Vine Series Soldaat is brilliant with a fleshy, ripe, crunchy red fruit essence that sways with an aroma of dusty cherry blossom. Medium-bodied and with 13% alcohol, the palate is fresh yet possesses a nervous energy that uncoils as the wine sits on the palate before revealing a delightful tannic grip. The Grenache concludes with a fine, floral finish and will need additional time in the bottle to come together but will drink fantastically over the next 12- 14 years. Just give it some time, and your patience will be rewarded.- Anthony Mueller
Description
The 2021 Soldaat Grenache from The Sadie Family Wines comes from high-altitude Piekenierskloof vineyards in South Africa’s Western Cape. Made from old vines and aged in concrete, it emphasizes purity and terroir expression.
In the glass, it shows a pale, bright color with aromas of cherry, strawberry, pomegranate, and subtle floral notes. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh, and energetic, with fine-grained tannins, hints of white pepper and herbs, and a distinctive stony minerality.
