This is not soft, squashy strawberry Starburst Grenache. This is real Grenache. Serious Grenache. Grenache with an attitude. It has the most phenomenally complex aroma of wild berries, pepper, mushroom, gravel and iron. Depth, intensity and generous structure. Wild strawberries and peppery spice dance amid earthy undertones and brooding tannins. Decant to really show its true potential, then savour it slowly. Drink now or over the next ten years. Superb!
Winemaking
Small batches of grapes are gently crushed and then transferred to five tonne headed down open fermenters. These batches remain separate until final blending. Foot treading is undertaken two thirds of the way through fermentation. The wine is then basket pressed and transferred to a mixture of old French and American oak barriques to complete fermentation. The barrel ferments are aged on lees, there is no racking until final blending and no fining or filtration.
Our Expert Food Recommendation
Deserving of a rich, hearty beef stew with dumplings. Embrace the winter!
