Mielie Magenta is a fresh, lighter-style red made from Grenache Noir, grown in the Swartland and produced with minimal intervention. The grapes are fermented as whole bunches with native yeasts and left on skins for around 14 days, before being pressed and aged in a combination of old 500L oak barrels and stainless steel tanks. The resulting wine is light-bodied, bright, and fruit-driven, with aromas of red berries, subtle florals, and a hint of spice. The palate is clean and precise, with soft texture and fresh acidity. It's designed to be easy to enjoy and works well lightly chilled. Show more
