Trophy – Best Grenache of Show
96 Points
Barossa Valley Wine Show 2021
Planted in 1969 by 5th generation William “Bert” Scholz. The block is dry grown on sand over deep alluvial soil in a loop of the North Para River. The Grenache thrives on the free draining sand and experiences the cool gully breezes that follow the North Para out of the hills.
Fruit was hand- picked across two separate dates ; 2nd and 9th March. An early pick targeting fragrant, bright fruit and a second pick targeting more depth and structure. Fermentation occurred in small batch, open fermenters. There were 4 batches in total with varying levels of whole bunch (25-100%); or extended maceration(35 days). Whole bunch fermentation adding length and softness to the structure of the wine. All batches were basket pressed to seasoned French oak for 8 months prior to blending and bottling.
Opens with lifted red fruits, lavender florals, and savoury spice. The palate reveals red licorice and raspberry that progresses to more complex, savoury notes of earth, graphite and peppercorn spice. Structurally the tannins are ruffled, running long and even.
