2022 Keeper of the Stones-GRENACHE $50/btl (12xbottle case)
LIMITED RELEASE
“Deep crimson in the glass with super-spicy damson plum, boysenberry and blueberry fruits with underlying hints of gingerbread, pressed purple flowers, citrus blossom, sarsaparilla, cola, Turkish delight, rose petals and earth. A plush and immensely floral grenache that gives off a Cherry Ripe vibe with tight tannin and bright acidity. It’s quite delicious.”
James Halliday Wine Companion 2024, Dave Brooks
Single vineyard Grenache in the southern Barossa Valley sub region of Lyndoch. Traditional vinification in small batches including barrel fermentation and wild yeast. Hand-picked fruit is gently destemmed directly into open fermenters and hogsheads with the tops knocked out with 20% whole bunch inclusion. We avoid unnecessary movement through mechanical pumps, preferring to punch down manually before transferring by gravity into the basket press. This traditional method facilitates a slow and gentle extraction of colour and tannins.
The wine is then aged in French oak puncheons with some lees stirring, before a final rack from barrel to tank for settling prior to bottling. We do not fine or filter our wines to maintain their natural flavours and aromas.
