Vineyard
Moppity Vineyard, Hilltops, NSW. The vineyard site sits at 600m altitude, just a stones throw from the township of Young. The cool climate region provides warm days and cool nights during the ripening period, which helps retain natural acids in the wine.
Tasting Notes
A Grenache that's lively upon first sip, with whispers of black cherry, generous red fruits, hints of candied strawberry and a velvet sheen across the palate.
Winemaking
Whole berries, fermented in open top fermenters with natural yeast, hand plunged twice daily throughout ferment, gently pressed then aged in French oak for 9 months.
