Wine Profile
Vineyard Notes
This fruit was hand picked from established, dry-grown bush vine
Grenache on the gravelly loam soils of our Swinney Wilson’s Pool Vineyard.
This section within the vineyard has leaner topsoils with a higher
percentage of lateritic gravel. Fruit thinning and selective hand harvesting
over multiple passes ensured we achieved as close to perfect fruit as
possible.
Production Notes
The fruit was hand picked, berry sorted and gravity fed to French oak
fermenters.
We incorporated 60% whole bunches followed by wild fermentation to build
structure and texture while promoting the bright and spicy aromatics.
The wine spent 10 days on skins and was then pressed directly to finegrained,
large-format, seasoned French oak, and aged for 11 months prior to
bottling.
The wine was made with minimum effective Sulphites, is unfined and
minimally filtered.
