Description
"More than any other variety planted in McLaren Vale, Grenache tastes of the place from which it is grown. With this in mind, we created a pair of single site Grenaches, hoping to capture the unique terroir of each sub-region. Hand-picked, destemmed with some whole cluster retained and fermented wild in open vats. They were hand plunged daily, on skins for 3 weeks for Spice Garden, 3.5 weeks for Silk & Stone. Maturation followed, on gross lees in old French oak puncheons for 7 months before bottling." - Winemaker Notes
"Raspberry, cherry, spice box, almond, roses, a stony thing, roast red capsicum and paprika. Medium-bodied, fine dusty and powdery texture, crushed rocks, cool acidity, succulence of red fruits, but also tight and stony. Superb finish. Such texture, but with flavour. Precise. This is a banger." - 96 Points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front
