Yorkshire restaurateurs James and Tommy Banks work with an impressive line-up of producers in South Africa. Their Grenache Blanc was made by Chris Williams at The Foundry, where its complex, foodie style was infused with savoury lemon rind, concentrated red apple, and a lick of cream from ageing in old French oak.
