Description
Bush vine Grenache and Mourvedre were harvested by hand at optimum ripeness; the Shiraz was machine harvested at night to preserve the spiciness of the variety. All parcels were vinified in small open ferments with the Grenache and Mourvedre having ~40% whole bunch inclusion for aromatic lift. The ferments were hand plunged twice daily and pressed off quickly after ferment. Aged in large format (1800L) oak for 18 months. The plump, juicy sweetness of the Grenache gives a lovely core that matches perfectly with the rustic tannins and earthiness of Mourvedre. Add a dash of spicy cool climate Shiraz to the blend and the wine provides no end of intrigue.
