Bok Amok Organic Bush Vine Grenache

Beef, Lamb, Poultry, Game (deer, venison)

Klein Amoskuil, tucked away in the rugged Swartland, is a farm with stories to tell. Once a tobacco farm, now home to natural qvevri wines and certified organic vineyards, it’s all about winemaking with minimal intervention. No irrigation, just dryland, organic farming in the harshest conditions. The wines of Klein Amoskuil embrace a hands-off, back-to-basics approach. In their range of organic wines and natural wines fermented in traditional Georgian qvevri, each bottle of Klein Amoskuil wine reflects the wild spirit of the Swartland—earthy, untamed, and full of character.

Block 1 was planted in 2006 on weathered granite soils, a perfect match for Grenache Noir. This dryland bush vine block produced 3.8 tons per hectare in 2023, with every grape hand-harvested. The combination of old soils and hardy vines gives this Grenache its distinct Swartland character. These grapes started their journey with an early morning pick, followed by destemming, crushing, and a cool, extended soak.

After that, it’s off to old French oak for 10 months of rest. Bottled with barely a filter, just the way we like it—raw and real.

Wild fermentation ran its course, with punch downs done two or three times a day to get every ounce of flavour.
