Single Vineyard Old Vine Grenache 2024

*low on stock 100% Grenache Alcohol: 13.8% Closure: Cork Planted in 1956 by the Schild family, this Grenache captures the elegance and restraint that Vine Vale’s deep sandy soils are renowned for. We’ve worked with this block since 2013, drawn to its consistency, perfume, and natural finesse. The aim is always to let the terroir shine, sometimes with two separate picks: one earlier for vibrancy and lifted aromatics, the other later for depth and structure. A portion is fermented whole cluster, allowing the stems to contribute fine tannin and absorb some alcohol, lifting the palate and adding structural tension. A small portion of new French oak adds subtle framing without overpowering the fruit. The result is a poised, expressive Grenache, red cherry, pomegranate, dried rose, and warmspice glide across a silken palate. Beautifully balanced, savoury, and cellar-worthy, yet undeniably delicious now.
