    Winemaking

    Selective harvested then destemmed into open top fermenters, leaving 20% whole bunch clusters, the balance of the fruit destemmed not crushed. The fruit was then fermented a low temperate to retain the freshness. After 10 days on skins and gently
    plunged daily, the wine was pressed to seasoned French oak Puncheons where it matured for 10 months.

    Winemaker's Notes

    The Clare Valley climate is perfectly conditioned to produce beautiful varietal grenache. With more rainfall through the winter, and a cooler vintage with longer ripening periods, this Grenache is perfumed, elegant and textural.

    VINTAGE CONDITIONS

    The 2022 vintage saw plenty of rainfall during winter, which was fantastic, as it helped to nurture the vines and set up the vineyard for the spring and summer months. The growing season, leading into vintage, saw cooler days and cooler nights compared with previous years. This creates a much longer ripening period, resulting in wines with more delicate and elegant flavours while presenting their various varietal characteristics.
