Winery De Grendel
De Grendel means "the bar" in Dutch. This farm was historically the gateway on the route to the settlements inland from Durbanville and Stellenbosch, which had to be opened to cross the Tygerberg, named after the leopard-like spots of vegetation on the steep hill. The road from Cape Town passed by it because it was easier for ox wagons to travel over the Tygerberg than over the sandy plains of Bellville at that time.
Tasting notes
The Proposal Hill Brut Rosé from De Grendel has all the characteristics of a conventional and meticulously, carefully constructed sparkling wine, which additionally seems to be playful and exciting.
This complex wine offers layers of flavor and a weightier palate than the average sparkling wine. From the fine and long-lasting mousse, there is a hint of oyster shells and fresh lavender on the nose.
This experience is then followed by an exceptionally long aftertaste. The intensity of strawberry coulis and black cherry is well balanced by a strong acidity.

Grape Variety
Chenin Blanc is a widely cultivated, old white wine grape variety that has been grown in France (in Anjou – Touraine) since the 9th century. Compared to other white wine grape varieties, this variety is very productive. This leads to a very high quality of the white wine when reduced on the vine.
In South Africa, Chenin Blanc is the most widely grown white wine grape variety. The reason for this is primarily the very high diversity. For example, there are "wild-growing" vines (so-called Bush Vines) that are usually not irrigated. For this reason, the vines penetrate very deep into the ground with their roots to reach water. These Chenin Blancs therefore have a stronger depth and complexity.
The grape variety can also be aged very fresh and fruity in stainless steel tanks, developing into a very nice summer wine. Through the Aged in oak barrels, one obtains very complex and full-bodied white wines. The aromas of Chenin Blanc wines range from peach, apricot, and tropical fruits to honey and melon.
