2023 Grenache
2023 Grenache
“A thoroughly scrumptious Grenache from McLaren Vale. The techniques of some whole bunch, wild ferments, carbonic maceration and time on skins in open fermenters has been designed to bring a wine of great energy and fruit vibrancy to life. The vines are more than 70 years old and pump beautifully balanced and flavoursome fruit into the wine. Has a nice dry savoury dusty character that you often get from Blewitt Springs within this region.” 95pts– Ray Jordan - Wine pilot

THE VINEYARD
Three very distinguished vineyards complement one another in this blend. The Brini vineyard in Blewitt Springs contributes heightened fresh aromatics and a tilled earth character on the palate. The Romano vineyard in Seaview lends a vibrant acid backbone and fresh fruits of cherry and red berry and the Cooter vineyard in Whites Valley adds depth of fruit, mid-palate weight, and an ironstone ferrous note to the long and balanced finish. Vineyards are all 70+ years old bush vines on sand. A vinous trilogy of distinction.
