Tasting Notes
Vinification
The fruit was hand-picked on the 25th March and processed as a 100% whole bunch
ferment. After a slow and cool ferment the fruit was pressed to large format neutral French oak where it
remained on full lees until racking for bottling in May 2024.
Region Notes
Sourced
from Blocks 111-113 at the highest elevation of the Hickinbotham vineyard in
Clarendon. A southerly aspect provides respite from the hot afternoon sun during ripening ensuring that this
fruit is often the last Grenache harvested with a very long hang time on the vine to produce a very well
developed flavour profile.
