Vinification

Small open top, indigenous yeast, 10% whole-bunch retention, two week ferment, hand-plunging and pumpover daily.

Winemakers Comments

From a 162-year-old vineyard planted near Springton, Eden Valley, on brown and grey sandy loam over yellow clays. 10% whole-bunch fermented in stainless steel, no crushing or temperature control, natural yeasts, hand plunged and foot trodden twice daily for 2 weeks. Matured for 12 months in large, old oak barrels. Made with complete respect to the fruit and aiming above the great CNDP in terms of quality, balance and longevity.

    A juicy and easy grenache with sliced ripe strawberries and dried citrus aromas and flavors. Medium to light body. Fresh finish. Subtle leafy undertone to this flavors. Drink now. Screw cap. Points: 91/100

    Alex Head gets grenache. Here it's a bouncy, perfumed and vital riff on the variety; less of the chin stroking and pontification; more of the clinking of glasses and footloose, imbibing kind of vibe. It's all ripe red plum and cherry fruits, dredged with exotic spice and stalky complexity from 10% added stems. Light in body, big on fun. Pop it in the fridge to take the edge off and away you go. Points: 91/100

    Bright and crunchy style. Raspberry, raspberry frog, a bit of spice, dried herb, roses and leaf. Medium-bodied, plenty of raspberry juiciness, light emery tannin, discreet earthiness and a fresh but jubey finish of moderate length. It can be enjoyed young, though I think it will be better with another year or so in bottle. Charming. Points: 91/100
