A very intensely flavoured year for grenache for us, showing very concentrated cherry and red fruit aromas.
100% Grenache
9 months, 100% older French Oak.
The palate is taught with real brightness of fruit and tension from a naturally high acid year.
Grenache was hand-picked and received via a belt elevator, de-stemmed and then sorted via two sorting tables, resulting in tubs of perfectly whole berries. These tubs are then tipped into our open fermenters (to avoid macerating the skins), where the berries are cold-soaked for 5-6 days and undergo wild fermentation. A careful regime of plunging and drain and returns ensued before the wine was sent to older French barriques after about 12-14 days. The wine in barrel was kept on the yeast lees for approximately 10 months prior to blending. The wine received no fining, just filtration. Certified Biodynamic.
