Expect ripe peach, green pineapple, and a splash of citrus, all backed up by a subtle almondy richness from a touch of oak ageing. The finish is long, clean, and refreshingly mineral, making it perfect for seafood, creamy pasta, or just a sunny afternoon with a glass in hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTry this with green salads, seafood, lightly flavoured pasta, or semi-firm aged goat’s cheese.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eKate Says\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"If you like your whites with a bit of texture but still bright and zingy, this one's for you. It’s got all that lovely tropical fruit, but there’s a touch of spice and creaminess that gives it a bit of depth. Plus, it’s Fairtrade, so you can feel good about every sip. I’d crack this open with grilled prawns, roast chicken, or even a well-made fish and chips!\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eProducer Info\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSAAM, meaning ‘together’ in Afrikaans, is all about collaboration and ethical winemaking. Produced by Perdeberg Cellar in the Western Cape, this wine is part of a Fairtrade-certified range that supports vineyard workers and sustainable farming. The grapes come from old bush vines, grown on rocky, well-drained soils, which helps concentrate the flavours. Whether you’re a long-time Grenache Blanc fan or trying it for the first time, this bottle is a great way to discover what South Africa does best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter de-stemming, the juice spent two hours on the skins before only the clear, free-run juice was extracted. 70% was fermented in stainless steel tanks and rested on the lees for three months to build texture. The other 30% was fermented and aged on the lees for six months in 500-litre French oak barrels, adding depth and complexity. No malolactic fermentation was done, keeping the wine’s fresh, crisp acidity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Perdeberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46170103447599,"sku":"wqp1789236628743","price":12.68,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/3143\/5567\/files\/saam-grenache-blanc-2024_1.jpg?v=1789236633","url":"https:\/\/www.elvarona.com\/products\/saam-grenache-blanc-2024","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
