2020 Greenock Creek Moppa Grenache 750ml

Description

Sourced from a single block of Grenache vines located on an east-facing slope. The thin brown loam topsoils lie over a seam of ancient marble and ironstone, producing low yields of small-berried Grenache. This produces intensely flavoured wines, typical of the Greenock Creek style. The fruit is harvested and destemmed, and fermented for 7-10 days with twice daily pump-overs. The wine is basket pressed to a combination of seasoned French and American oak hogsheads for 8 months maturation prior to bottling. A fragrant wine displaying red fruits and warm spices. On the palate, raspberry and mulberry fruits intermingle over powdery tannins. The finish if fresh and delicate. Drink now to 2028.
