2022 "Post Modern Seriousism" Grenache

GRENACHE IS HISTORIC, A LITTLE FORGOTTEN AND YET A STAR VARIETY OF THE SWAN VALLEY.  THIS FRUIT COMES FROM A 30+ YEAR OLD VINEYARD PLANTED BY SCAMPOLI NEAR THE BASE OF THE DARLING SCARP CONSISTING OF GRAVEL AND SAND OVER COFFEE ROCK.   NATURAL FERMENT, SOME WHOLE BUNCH AND EXTENDED MACERATION.  

THIS IS A BRIGHT, EXUBERANT MODERN EXPRESSION OF GRENACHE.  WILD STRAWBERRIES, RASPBERRY AND SOUR CHERRY.  FLORAL, SARSAPARILLA AND DRIED HERB.  JUICY UPFRONT, AND A WHACK OF RUSTIC TANNINS TO MAINTAIN SHAPE.
