Spice Route Bushvine Grenache

Red berry fruit and subtle pepper harmonize with cardamom and iron-like spice; lightness on the palate with high complexity; fine tannins and good acidity promise great development potential

The name Spice Route dates back to the 15th century and commemorates the seafarers who steadfastly defied the stormy waters of the "Cape of Storms" to bring exotic spices to Western Europe along the so-called Spice Route. In a similar way, Charles Back (Fairview Winery), Gyles Back (Thelema Winery), John Platter (wine author), and Jabulani Ntshangase (wine pioneer and first black winery owner) "sailed" in 1997 on largely unknown soils with an extreme climate in Swartland and found an old tobacco farm called Klein Amoskuil in Malmesbury. They immediately recognized the great potential of this terroir and began cultivating wines – the Spice Route Winery was born. These days, the grapes from Swartland are processed at the Spice Route Farm in Paarl. Today, the Spice Route Winery is fully owned by Charles Back.
