Description
Red Wine by Clarendon Hills from McLaren Vale, Australia. The grapes for our Blewitt Springs Grenache were handpicked from low-yielding, dry-grown old vines and gently destemmed before undergoing whole berry fermentation. We used wild yeast fermentation to increase the retention of the grape’s varietal essence and minimize bitter tannin extract. All pressings are returned to the barrel and bottled onsite without fining or filtration. This wine aged for 18 months in a combination of one- to five-year-old tight-grained French oak barrels designed especially for Clarendon Hills. Notes of kirsch, spice and dried tealeaves create an elegant complement to red cherry flavors, leading to an intense, lengthy finish. The restrained fruit intensity and lingering, silky finish suggests great aging potential.
