L'Equinox Wines - Find Your Happy Place 2024

(Swartland, South Africa)

A fun, fresh blend of Grenache, Carignan, and Pinotage, made using an innovative combination of winemaking techniques which emphasises juicy, exuberant fruit while retaining a gorgeous spicy depth.  A light-footed and crowd-pleasing red that's - as the name suggests - is a joy to drink.    

Made by MC Stander, a newcomer to the Swartland wine scene who leases vines he farms organically as well as sourcing fruit from other local organic and biodynamic growers.  MC is always looking for freshness in his wines and has a light touch in the cellar, but keeps an eye on refinement and clarity, giving his wines a true sense of identity and purpose.
