Muratie Mr May Grenache Noir is a graceful expression of this Southern Rhône grape, perfectly adapted to the Simonsberg slopes. Grown on dry-farmed vines at elevation, this wine shows vivid red berry fruit, soft tannins, and subtle spice, backed by the earthy depth that reflects its mountainous terroir. A tribute to the ever-wise Cornelius “Mr May,” this Grenache is as honest and grounded as the man himself—delicate yet flavourful, with an elegant structure and beautiful balance.
Grenache Noir is traditionally a Southern Rhône cultivar but originates from Spain. No wonder it suits our terroir seamlessly. We practice traditional dry land viticulture on these vines at 368m above sea level and receive low yields. This combination drives the high intensity of flavours.
Fermented in half ton stainless steel open fermenters. Half of the batch was spontaneous whole berry fermentation. After initial fermentation, the wine was basket pressed and then taken to barrel for malolactic fermentation. Aged for 18 months in 500L French Oak barrels.
