Tasting Note

Appearing as a pale straw hue when poured into a glass, Grenache Blanc offers a delightful bouquet of scents, including zesty lemon, tangy grapefruit, and the sweet essence of poached pear. This enticing profile is complemented by subtle notes of spice, rich clotted cream, almond-infused marzipan, finely crushed stones, and delicate hints of white florals.

Viticulture and Winemaking 

The fruit was hand-picked on 16 March 2023 from Schwarz Vineyards in Bethany. Two parcels were processed separately: one was destemmed and macerated for 15 hours, while the other underwent a shorter 7-hour maceration.

Each parcel was pressed to tank, settled, and racked before undergoing wild fermentation. On day six of fermentation, the wines were transferred to seasoned French oak to complete the process. Regular stirring was employed to build complexity and mouthfeel. The parcels were blended on 23 August 2023 and bottled on 22 September 2023.
