Our De Grendel Winifred, named by the late Sir David Graaff in honour of his wife, only produced in very limited quantities and exclusively available to our Loyalty Club Customers, is a tantalising blend of Viognier, Chardonnay and Semillon.

Back by popular demand, it was one of the first wines produced on the estate and remains a firm favourite among our Loyalty Club Members – so much so, that we have to reserve a small portion of Chardonnay every year, which would otherwise be used in our wildly popular De Grendel MCC Brut, to continue the production of this distinctive wine.

This highly aromatic and flavourful wine will be an excellent partner to exotic and decadent dishes such as Sole Meunière, smoked duck breast in a ginger-leek bouillon, or equally aromatic Asian dishes.

Ready to enjoy now, but with an ageing potential of 3 to 5 years to allow for an even more complex wine. 

Enjoy with: Seared Scallops, Fresh Seafood, Chicken and Apricot Kebabs, Salads with Citrussy Dressings

Tasting Notes: Grapefruit, Lemon, Peach

  • Tasting Notes

    The wine shows a bright, medium straw colour with a slightly deeper core and medium legs indicating great viscosity. Aromas of lemon zest, Asian pears, yellow cling peach and fresh vanilla pod abound. On the palate the wine is zesty at first, followed by a softer mouthfeel and layer upon layer of flavour as it opens up. Great complexity of toasted walnuts and orange curd combine with refined wood integration and a whiff of Crème Anglaise on the aftertaste.

  • Food Complements

    Enjoy Winifred with seared scallops, fresh seafood straight off the braai (barbeque), chicken and apricot kebabs, and salads with citrussy dressings.

  • Vintage

    The 2020/2021 season presented a cold winter and a cold spring with good rainfall and a very moderate growing period during summer. This resulted in a later-than-usual harvest and grapes were harvested 14 days later compared to 2020.
