Thursday, June 29, 2023 - 10th MW Symposium, Wiesbaden - Day 1: 90% Grenache, 6% Shiraz, 4% Graciano
Alcohol 15.4%, 0.5 g/l residual sugar, 5.1 g/l acidity, 3.72 pH

Vineyard: Winery Block
Dry grown Grenache bush vines planted on their own roots in 1934 and 1943.
Yield: 40 hl/ha
Soil Type Sandy loam over clay.
Harvest Notes: Lovely vintage without summer heat waves and good soil moisture led to a later harvest more in line with the vintages of the 70's, 80's and 90's.

Vinification: Handpicked, open vats 12 days, basket pressed. Maturation in old barrels and tronconique vats.
Oak influence: No new oak influence.
Months in bottle: 10, production 36.000 bottles
