Wolf & Woman Grenache Rosé 2023

The woman behind Wolf and Woman Wines is Jolandie Fouché, making a small range of ‘honest and sincere’ wines, working minimalistically and lightly with grapes from selected old Swartland vineyards. A few years ago, Jolandie’s husband sent her a quote that he said reminded him of her. It read: “Some days I am more wolf than woman and I am still learning how to stop apologizing for my wild.” A while later she was at the airport and while waiting to board, she went into a book shop and saw the book Women who run with the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estés. She immediately thought about that quote that Gustav had sent her and bought the book. After reading it she felt inspired, empowered and able to dream bigger and wilder than ever before, and so after more than a decade of earning her stripes in the South African industry, Jolandie decided to turn her attention to her passion project: Wolf & Woman Wines.

Wolf & Woman Grenache Rosé is made from grapes yielded by a single bush-vine vineyard, which grows in the Paardeberg region in granitic soils.
