From old Blewitt Springs’ bush vines on deep sand, with some ironstone. Fermented using whole bunch, whole berry and crushed fruit, then aged in concrete eggs and oak. It has a lively, citrussy undertow and fine rub of sandpapery tannins to the fragrant red cherry and raspberry fruit. Violets, anise spice and fresh acidity make for a long, lifted finish.

Deep red/purple colour. The bouquet is reserved and sweet, with herbal, green-stem, Turkish Delight and fresh earth aromas. This is medium to full-bodied and quite firmly structured within the grenache spectrum, a more structured style with length and firmness in the finish. Impressive stuff. 17 APR 2019 Drink 2019–2034

Hand-picked, wild-fermented, 33% layered passive whole bunch, half in a concrete pyramid egg, the remainder with 20% whole bunches, then a barrel selection. Delicious grenache, fresh and juicy, with a skein of fruit and oak tannins.
