Momento Wines is the project of Marelise Niemann, one of South Africa’s most thoughtful winemakers, known for her minimalist approach and focus on cool-climate elegance. Her Grenache Noir 2022 is sourced from carefully farmed coastal vineyards, where Atlantic breezes and rocky soils give the grape a lighter, brighter edge than its Rhône Valley counterparts.

This vintage is all about purity and energy: wild strawberries, pomegranate, white pepper, and a whisper of dried herbs leap from the glass. The palate is juicy but finely structured, with soft tannins, brisk acidity, and a mineral core that keeps it nimble and fresh. Native yeast fermentation and gentle handling preserve the wine’s natural brightness, while a short élevage in neutral oak rounds it out without adding weight.

It’s Grenache reimagined—vibrant, savory, and built for drinking with a slight chill.

Pair with: grilled lamb skewers, roasted vegetables, charcuterie, or lighter stews.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 92
"The 2022 Grenache Noir contains 20% stems and undergoes a natural fermentation, three weeks on the skins, and matures 16 months in used 225-liter oak barrels. It has a lovely bouquet with detailed red cherries and crushed strawberry fruit, a little gravelly scent in the background, and later light orange blossom aromas. The palate is well-balanced with finely chiseled tannins, open and transparent with gentle grip and more persistency on the finish, plus a residual pepperiness that is very appealing." -Vinous
