2020 Grenache Magnum 1.5L

The 2020 vintage will be one for the ages, with a backdrop of devastating bushfires and ongoing drought in Australia, and the emergence of a global pandemic. Fortunately, our little pocket of the Barossa was spared the destruction of fires and cool ripening conditions offset the impact of drought and earlier hot weather. Yields for 2020 were lowered due to windy conditions during pollination in the previous Spring. February and March were significantly milder in temperature than December and January, ensuring that fruit quality was optimal.

The wine was fermented with 15% whole bunch with half the remaining stems also included in the ferment. Maturation took place in a combination of neutral oak Foudre and neutral oak puncheons. The resulting wine shows beautiful floral and spiced aromatics, bright fruit that fills out into more complex spiced and savoury characteristics, and strong tannins that will ensure longevity.
