Description / Reviews
"Bush vine and hill side Grenache from Greenock in was hand harvested in mid-March. We added a small whole bunch portion allowing for greater complexity and retention of the delicious musky profile of our Greenock Grenache, with a slow, steady fermentation to build the tannin profile. Mataro was harvested from Greenock in late March and fermented in cement open fermenters. Both Greenock parcels pressed to seasoned French oak for malolactic fermentation and maturation on lees prior to blending. The final blend also has a portion of Grenache from our family’s Mengler Hill vineyard, harvested in early April. This adds a lovely savoury element to the Greenock fruit parcels. A delicious mix of red fruits with gamey undertones, a vibrant spice and a touch of cracked pepper giving life to the silky tannin on the finish." - Winemaker Notes
