This red blend, ‘Tesame,’ means “together” in Afrikaans, and symbolizes the beautiful, breathing organism that is a farm estate, all the plants and crops and animals living together in a Botrivier paradise. The 2021 vintage of this Grenache – Syrah – Cinsault blend is the second to make it stateside, and it perfectly encompasses everything that there is to love about Marelise’s winemaking style: it plays on power, delicacy, and poise like light evening rain after a canicular day. And, in the words of Christian Eedes, “Being Grenache driven, there’s a sense that future vintages will only grow in gravitas as the vines attain some age.” The 2021 vintage sees a higher portion of Syrah than the previous one.
