Willunga 100, McLaren Vale Grenache

Wine Type: Red

Grape(s): 100% Grenache

Country: Australia

Region: McLaren Vale

Organic: No

Vegan: Yes

ABV: 14.5%

Tasting Notes: Bright vibrant cherries and red berries along with rose and violet floral aromatics, and background fresh herbs - sage and rocket.  A medium weight wine with flavours of fresh red cherries and pomegranate, some earthy spice, minerality and hints of red liquorice. This is a textural wine and has fine tannins carrying the flavours into a lingering finish.

Winemaking: The three selected parcels were hand harvested and vinified separately. The wines were fermented in stainless steel open fermenters. One parcel was fermented with 25% whole bunch (equalling approx. 10% whole bunch across the wine). 10 days on skins, gently basket pressed. 85% of the wine was transferred to aged French oak puncheons post primary fermentation to undergo malolactic fermentation, the balance remained in stainless steel. The wine remained on fluffy lees for 10 months before being racked prior to bottling. No fining, vegan friendly.
