Jol Sommet
South Africa
Experience true craftsmanship, where Cape wildness meets French precision
ABOUT THIS WINE:
Jol Sommet
Cinsault - Grenache
This exceptional wine is part of our Fine Wine Collection.
Winemaking Winemakers co-ferment equal parts Cinsault and Grenache Noir to capture a pure expression of Piekenierskloof’s Mediterranean-like terroir. Cooler-climate fruit lends brightness and lifted aromatics, while careful extraction preserves the delicate structure and soft tannins. A restrained use of oak introduces integrated spice notes, complementing the natural herbal thread of thyme, rosemary, and wild fynbos. Each step in the process is guided by balance—freshness meets depth, elegance aligns with intensity.
Vintage The 2024 vintage in Piekenierskloof was shaped by a long, temperate growing season, where weather patterns allowed for development of both Cinsault and Grenache Noir. Spring arrived early and dry, encouraging flowering and uniform fruit set across the dryland vineyards. ...

WINE REGION:
South Africa
With its mountainous, maritime-influenced winegrowing regions, South Africa produces top-quality Cabernet Sauvignon and Chenin Blanc and premium Syrah, Pinotage, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The Dutch brought vines here back in the 1600s to satiate their thirsty sailors en route to India, but they probably never imagined just how important to the wine world South Africa would one day become. Indeed, it took centuries for South Africa to discover its full potential. Most of the country's winegrowing areas thrive in the southwest, known as the Western Cape. Its most famous regions are an easy drive from Cape Town and include Stellenbosch, Swartland, Breedekloof and Franschhoek.

TASTING NOTES:
Cherry
Dried Herbs
Violet
On the palate, the wine is smooth, round, and bright, lifting each sip. A savory thread of rosemary and thyme evokes garrigue-covered Cape Floral hillsides. With balanced structure, satisfying feel, gentle dryness, and subtle toasty layers, it speaks of place—vivid, expressive, and grounded in nature.
