Varney Wines Entrada Rose of Grenache 2024 x 12

Description

The ‘Entrada’ range of wines are inspired by winemaker Alan Varney’s time in the small Portuguese town of Entradas, in Alentejo, where he lived a vintage in 2017.

“Early picked bush vine Grenache from the Blewitt Springs sub-region of McLaren Vale provides red berry aromatics, a touch of dried herb, and a textural mid-palate leading to a vibrant, long, and dry finish.” – Alan Varney, Winemaker

• THE VINEYARD

  Sourced from 60+ year old bush vine planted on the sandy slopes of Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale.

• WINEMAKING

  Crushed and pressed in to stainless steel tank for cold settling prior to a long slow cold ferment with a Champagne derived yeast strain. Approximately 20% wild fermented in seasoned French Barriques to build texture and mid-palate weight. Fermented bone dry. Contains minimal sulphites.

• FOOD PAIRING

  This dry wine pairs beautifully with a Summer salad and makes great picnic wine. Lighter meals including fish and chicken, also match this wine well.
