Willunga 100 The Hundred Mclaren Vale Grenache 2015

100% Grenache from Sue Trott's vineyard located at an altitude of 180 metres in the Blewitt Springs sub-region of McLaren Vale, South Australia.

Hand-picked fruit was open fermented at high temperatures with regular pump-overs and plunging to ensure optimum early extraction, reduced towards the end of the ferment to maintain the delicate aromatics. Timely pressing ensured good quality of flavour and a fine tannin structure. No oak was used in the ageing process but the wine was left on its lees to emphasise the intense aromatic profile of the Grenache.

Winemaker's Comments

Lovely delicate floral and red berry aromatics, with a roundness and richness from the lees ageing that works in harmony with the finer tannins and cherry spice notes on the palate.
