Lovely mild ripening conditions gave us a Grenache with an intense core of red and blue fruit
There is a purity and density, but also a lightness that belies the energy and power of the fruit. Raspberry coulis and pomegranate notes sit alongside fennel seed and cumin, and flavours continue to unfurl as the wine sits in the glass
Its clarity matches its freshness; 10% whole bunches, 90% whole berry, 20 days in Italian-made tulip-shapes concrete 4-tonne fermenters, maturated. 15 months in old French puncheons. The highly fragrant blend of cherry and plum drives a long, fine, elegant palate.
