Jolandie, having studied at Elsenburg College, went on to do a short stint in South Australia before returning to work with Dewald Heyns at Saronsberg, and finally beginning her own venture as Wolf & Woman Wines. Having grown up in the town of Malmsbury, it’s no wonder that Jolandie so successfully relies on instinct when it comes to her winemaking practices in the Swartland. Both fierce, and untamed in nature, she hopes that this wine connects the parallels between women and wolves.
Jolandie’s Wolf & Woman 100% Grenache Noir Rosé is as intriguing as the name suggests – while displaying an elegantly understated onion-skin colour, the nose at first demonstrates a Provençal oyster-shell salinity, though upon inspection introduces notes of grapefruit pith, white lily, pear drops and is reminiscent of rain on dry land at the end of a hot summer’s day. The palate further adds, pink lady apples, with a fresh acidity that suggests moderately underripe cranberry and red current. A truly conversational wine, that continues to open in the glass, perpetually offering new layers and nuances.
We’d like to offer you the opportunity to taste and compare each of these three rosés, as such, for the month of September, they will be available by the glass, with our team of sommeliers on call to guide you. We look forward to tasting with you soon in this more personal manner.
