- TASTING NOTE: "A 51/45/4% split, vinified separately in concrete fermenters, the grenache stays as whole bunches, the other two destemmed; pressed to 2800L oak casks, blended and bottled around the 10-month mark. I like this a lot – it’s savoury, yes, good fruit the foundation but all a stepping stone. Fuller bodied, shapely, grainy tannins and juicy acidity ensure this is a bit of rock ‘n’ roll." 95 Points - Jane Faulkner, Halliday Wine Companion
- ABOUT THE WINE: The fruit for this wine was sourced from the biodynamically farmed Hazel’s Vineyard. Each parcel was harvested and vinified separately in vertical, open top stone fermenters with no temperature control. Grenache was fermented with 50% whole clusters, while Syrah and Mataro were destemmed, but the berries not crushed. The fruit spent between 8-14 days on skins before being gently pressed directly into large format oak casks for malolactic fermentation in our underground cellar. The wines were racked at the beginning of spring and blended in January 2022 and only received a coarse filtration.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: From the McHenry Hohnen team..."We aim to manage our vineyards sustainability using a range of practices that are not only ecologically sound, but also economically viable and socially responsible. All our viticultural practices nurture the biodiversity both within the soil microbiology that surrounds the vines and the insects and animals which are attracted to the healthy crops. McHenry Hohnen's vineyards are managed using 100% biodynamic methods which are designed to improve the vitality and health of the soil."
