Tasting Notes
Palate
The Old Vine Grenache is a complex, perfumed and elegant wine with a
trademark tannin structure.
Vinification
Sourced exclusively from 13.3 hectares of un-irrigated bush vines planted in 1946.
Hand-picked between 17-24th March, selectively sorted in the winery. Gently
destemmed
with
50%
crushed, 50%
whole
berries retained. Wild yeast
fermentation in stainless steel. A very gentle pump over regime, often just wetting
the cap. Some extended macerating where taming or polishing of tannin required
and in some cases up to 7 months. No pressings used. Maturation in a mixture of
old French and Austrian oak foudre and puncheons, ceramic egg and amphora.
Certified Organic/Biodynamic. Bottled February 2024.
Vintage Notes
The growing season began with significantly higher than average rainfall. The cool,
wet conditions continued through Spring, setting us up for balanced canopies and
lower yields. La Niña weather patterns forecasted cooler temperatures and
continued rainfall for harvest. We were able to enhance vineyard practices such as
shoot thinning and leaf removal to promote airflow, reduce mildew and increase
sun exposure to bunches. From our experience, a cold vintage in a warm region
can produce some of the best wines. Due to the cultural practices implemented,
we were able to pick the majority of the vineyard in a three-week window prior to
Easter, completed in early April. Wines produced from this vintage will be some of
the prettiest and most delicate from the Estate.
Region Notes
Our Grenache bush vines are old. These gnarly strugglers were planted in 1946 in a
deep sandy dune we call The Beach, overlying the North Maslin Sands geological
formation.
