Medium bodied, red fruits - strawberries, raspberries, brambly mixed spice and white pepper follow through. Layers of bright complexity in every mouthful. Bright acidity, minerality and silky tannins all in check and well balanced.

About

Our 1928 Grenache is made up of 39 terraced rows following the contour of the hill, which naturally creates variations in the topography and geology. Sandy loam soils at the bottom and limestone at the top. By harvesting this block in smaller parcels and vinifying separately, we can showcase the nuances within the different tiers, and appreciate its nearing 100 years of wisdom.

Winemaking

Vintage Conditions

The 23/24 season began with a wet and windy spring, continuing rain into summer that saturated soil moisture levels. A precise approach to our spray program prevented any disease issues. February and March provided perfect conditions, with mild days and nights allowing fruit to ripen beautifully. Vintage started in mid-February, with the majority of blocks harvested in March.

Maker Notes

Small parcels from our old vine (1928 planted) Grenache were hand harvested, vinified separately with approx. 15% whole bunch. After 6 months maturation in old French oak, a rigorous barrel selection created the final blend.
