Bekkers McLaren Vale Grenache 2017 Museum Release x 6
Product Description
"Nothing we have seen overseas has diminished our
conviction that McLaren Vale is capable of producing
unique, world-class wines and we aim to be an emblem for
the region.”
Our quest to create a fine wine beacon for McLaren Vale
means attention to the smallest details. Vineyard parcels
are selected from our ‘artist’s palette’- the landscape of
McLaren Vale- to capture aromatic spice, elegance and
soft, silky texture; all underpinned by the generous flavours
of McLaren Vale.
In our opinion, Grenache is the variety with which McLaren
Vale will stand proudest. Late ripening and medium bodied,
Grenache augments the signature of vintage and vineyard
more keenly than Shiraz.
Variety: 100% Grenache.
A careful blend of three vineyards. The structural core of
the wine comes from an old, dry farmed vineyard in the
rocky Onkaparinga Hills. A 1930’s Blewitt Springs bush-vine
parcel is more medium bodied while a higher altitude
Kangarilla plot contributes asiatic spice and aromatic
fragrance.
In the cellar, 20% whole bunches are added to the
fermenter and the remaining fruit is gently destemmed (not
crushed) and machine-sorted to remove any shrivelled
berries. Cold soaked for 5 days. Natural fermentation (no
yeast added). Gently fermented with the aim of minimising
over-extraction. Basket pressed to aged French oak (500L
puncheons). We choose to age our wine on fine lees with
minimal sulphur additions before racking and bottling sans
filtration.
We believe that the textural element holds the key to fine
wine.
