The vineyards face northwest and benefit from the cooling influence of the sea. The growing season is long, and compared to Stellenbosch, further north, the grapes are harvested two weeks later.

The vineyards were planted exclusively on previously cultivated land within sight of the ocean. This maritime climate, with its cooling sea breezes, keeps the vineyards cool, resulting in late-ripening, intense fruit. On the slopes of Ben Lomond Mountain in the Uilenkraal Valley, Lomond's vineyards are planted on no fewer than 18 different soil types. This unique combination of geography, geology, and climate results in a terroir perfect for producing world-class wine.\n\n\n \nThe Syrah was dry-fermented in stainless steel tanks, then transferred to barrels for malolactic fermentation and aging. The Mourvèdre was fermented in 500 kg open tanks, followed by malolactic fermentation and aging in 300-liter barrels. The Viognier spent the first third of its fermentation in stainless steel tanks before being transferred to old 300-liter barrels for the remainder. The wine was aged for 12 to 14 months in a combination of new and older French oak barrels before being blended to achieve the optimal blend.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Enjoy a balanced Syrah from Lomond\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\n Dark in hue and aroma.

Third Baronet Sir David Graaff established the vineyards and the modern wine cellar, a legacy now continued by his son, Sir De Villiers. Cellar Master Charles Hopkins combines state-of-the-art winemaking techniques with a nod to the farm's heritage, an environmentally friendly ethos, and a commitment to quality.\n\n\n \nThe Merlot grapes are planted at Hutton Oak Leaf, 200 meters above sea level on the slopes of Tygerberg. From here, there are views of the Atlantic Ocean, which in turn provides the necessary cooling in the vineyards. The vines are approximately 13 to 16 years old. The grapes are harvested entirely by hand, destemmed, and then crushed. The juice ferments in stainless steel tanks. The aerated pumpover method is used to gently pump the fermenting juice over the skins four times a day for an hour at a time, resulting in soft tannins. The wine is then aged for 13 months in French oak barrels.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The silky character of De Grendel Merlot\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThe Grendel Merlot boasts a beautiful ruby-red color with refined aromas of blueberries, a hint of anise, vanilla, and a subtle licorice note. The palate is silky smooth yet sufficiently powerful. It offers beautiful flavors of ripe red fruit, vanilla, light spices, and a touch of cedar. The finish reveals fine tannins and a light hint of mocha. A delicious pairing with a South African braai.","brand":"Sligro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775901667407,"sku":"10520","price":13.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/de-grendel-merlot_10520.webp?v=1770120786"},{"product_id":"de-grendel-sauvignon-blanc","title":"The Grendel Sauvignon Blanc","description":"The Grendel Sauvignon Blanc is a typically fresh, spicy Sauvignon Blanc from South Africa.
