2024 McLaren Vale Grenache
McLaren Vale
Vineyard -This Grenache is created using selectively harvested Grenache from block 8A and hand-picked bushvine Grenache from block 15 on the Lloyd Brothers McLaren Vale Estate.
Winemaking - Grenache was selectively harvested from block 8A with whole berries remaining intact along
with hand-picked Bushvine Grenache which was used as the whole bunch component in the open fermentation. Picked at modest baumes for this Nouveau style the wine was pressed off skins prior to dryness with ferment finishing in tank. The right amount of extraction is important when making this wine to allow it
to have some structure but still be fresh and approachable as an earlier drinking Grenache.
Vegan friendly.
Tasting Note - Crimson red in colour with lifted aromas of rose petals, sour cherry, red berries and herbs.
The palate has layers of blueberry, cherry and fresh raspberries with some dried herbs and a hint of ginger spice on the finish. A delicious medium bodied wine that can be lightly chilled and enjoyed throughout the warmer months.
