100% dry-grown single-vineyard in Grenock.

The palate shows more fruit purity, a silky texture and a fine tannin structure.

The oak still dominates, though, and a flash of heat from the alcohol is visible, too.

    • Description

      The 2021 summer growing season was mild, with even and cool daily temperatures throughout. Enhanced by good rains provided during the winter and spring of 2020, our vineyards grew wonderful canopies and developed well-formed grape bunches. As a result of this long flavour development cycle in the vineyard, 2021’s signature is wines of high aromatic lift with densely coloured tints and exceptional balance.

      Crimson with a brilliant hue. Immediate, aromatic red fruits such as dried raspberry, red cherry, pomegranate, red currant and cranberry. Secondary notes of Chinese five spice, sarsaparilla, star anise, cloves and petrichor, balanced by cinnamon spice and vanilla pod. The palate is sumptuous and decadent with mouth-filling fruits, texture and depth finishing with cleansing acidity that elongates the finish. Old vine Grenache from tiny berries drives complexities giving full-bodied depth with firm but balanced and drying tannins that are firm and grippy and give the wine plenty of time to mature in the cellar for 10-15 years. Serve at 16c/60F with game meats or charcuterie or Asian roast duck.

With twenty years of history behind it, the winery is poised to continue producing everyday and ultra-premium wines for many years to come.
