Griffons are powerful and majestic creatures that have the body, tail and hind legs of a lion and the head, talons and wings of an eagle. They symbolise divine power and are known for guarding treasure and priceless possessions. Kay Brothers feel that symbolism of the Griffon matched this premium Grenache perfectly.
Vintage 2017 was set up by wonderful winter and spring rainfall, being the wettest season since 1992. This rain gave the soils and entire ecosystem a much needed flush after the dry summers of 2015 and 2016.Fruit was open fermented and hand plunged for 10 days on skins, prior to traditional basket pressing. The wine matured a further 10 months in aged French oak puncheons.
