2010 HEAD ‘Old Vine’ Grenache, Single Vineyard – Greenock. Sourced from a 50 year old vineyard in Greenock. This wine was made form incredibly low yields due to a heat-wave in November of 2009 that damaged the vines in their flowering stage.

Handpicked fruit was crushed and fermented using natural vineyard yeasts. A portion of the bunches was left intact during the ferment to keep the tannins soft and wine fresh and accessible.

Initially, the wine was raised for 6 months in an 80 year old foudre and after malo-lactic fermentation, transferred to three old hogsheads. Deep burgundy colour; Aromas of white pepper, spice, raspberries and peanut shell. Plush, velvety entrance, building layers of raspberry/cherry kirsch liquer. Bright, freshness of acidity and stemy, chewy tannins are the hallmark of this wines lack of exposure to wood tannins. Bottled unfined and unfiltered.

100 cases produced.
Drink for 10 years. 14.5% Alc.
