Winemaker Notes

Crimson with deep purple core.Aromas of liquorice and aniseed, deep red and black fruits – pomegranate and blackberry. Hints of earth and clove. Medium to full-bodied, plush, round palate weight with firm tannin grip. This unique parcel has all the bright, opulent fruit characteristics that we look for in dry grown Grenache combined with lavender, deep black berry fruit intensity and a seamless tannin profile due to a partial whole-bunch fermentation. The rich, luxuriant fruit was further enhanced by barrel maturation in a second fill 2400 litre ‘Boutes’ French oak Foudre barrel, which perfectly balances the wine style we were looking to achieve. Pairs well with grilled, stewed, and braised meats like beef, veal, pork and chicken.
