“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.
