TASTING
Unashamedly pretty and elegant, with notes of violets, plums and cherries on the nose, and a core of dark fruit.
WINEMAKING NOTES
100% Grenache | Hand-harvested a 1925-planted vineyard | 10% whole bunch fermentation | 45 days extended maceration | 9 months aging’ in one-third clay jarres, one-third seasoned French oak, and one-third new French oak
REVIEWS
93 points, Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
“Grenache sourced from a 1925-planted vineyard just outside Tanunda, 10% whole bunch, matured for 9 months in 33% clay jarres, 33% seasoned French oak, and 33% new French oak. Raspberry-flecked red plum and red and dark cherry fruits with underlying exotic spice, citrus blossom, cranberry, crushed herbs and wildflowers. There's an elasticity and suppleness to the proceedings on the palate, with fine tannins and some nice crunch to the acidity.”
