Winemaker’s Notes:

This is a fuller bodied style of Grenache. There’s masses of blood orange and amaro on the nose, with fleshy red fruits and savoury spice on the palate. The texture is great, with prominent rhubarb and pomegranate flavours. Nice acidity and slightly grippy tannin on the finish.

Small batches of grapes are crushed gently and then transferred to open fermenters. Foot dreading is undertaken two thirds of the way through fermentation, the wine basket pressed and transferred to old French oak to complete fermentation and mature for nine months. Made from some of the oldest bush vine grenache of the McLaren Vale in Australia.
