A bright and refreshing expression of McLaren Vale Grenache. Light and bright. Loads of red summer berries. Some whole bunch characters shine through, highlighting the perfume and adding complexity. Soft tannins give rise to a lingering finish.
Vinification
Dry grown, hand-picked, destemmed and wild fermented in open fermenters for 11 days. Approximately 20% underwent whole bunch fermentation. Carefully selected seasoned French oak was used to mature and integrate for 10 months. Bottled unfiltered and unfined.
Vintage Notes
Grown with minimal inputs on our Whites Valley vineyard, McLaren Vale. 2020 was a vintage of quality over quantity. The season began with good winter rainfall, followed by a mild start to spring. However, the total rainfall was below average for the third year in a row. Summer started with intense head midlate December. Fortunately, the rest of the season was cooler than average with some late rain in the season, which enabled the vines to recover from the early heat and ripen effectively.
