Description
SINGLE SITE GRENACHE & SYRAH, RENDE VINEYARD, BLEWITT SPRINGS, MCLAREN VALE
The Rende vineyard boasts an altitude exceeding 200m above sea level. The top soil is pure sand, with clay and red ironstone pockets below the surface. The rejuvenation of this vineyard has seen the return of many plants and animal species. Not all are native, and some more beneficial than others, they do however contribute to creating an ecosystem and profile true to this site.
Blood Orange, Fennel, Pink Grapefruit, Redcurrant, mineral acidity balanced with a touch of fine tannin. Prettiness and purity captured from time in stainless steel tank, with roundness and mouthfeel from concrete sphere, lees contact and 100% malo.
