🍇 Grenache
Region: Languedoc, South France
Farming/Vinification: Dry Farmed Organic. The forty year old vines grow in quartz and limestone clay and Julien treats the vines using biodynamic techniques including nettle and fenugreek sprays. The grapes ripened well in the 2021 summer. The grapes were picked by hand and then completely destemmed before being macerated for 2 weeks to extract the colour from the skins. The wine was fermented naturally and then transferred to three year old 400 litre barrels where it matures for 6 months. The grapes were picked on the 27th August 2021 and the juice was bottled on the 9th and 10th of March 2022.
Notes: Intensely flavored but incredibly light, made almost entirely from Grenache. Iron, blood, vibrant red and bramble fruits. Notes of juicy, tart sour cherry and cranberry juices. Balanced with delicate tannin. Recommend a quick decant.
