2020 Single Vineyard Seppeltsfield Grenache
2020 Single Vineyard Seppeltsfield Grenache
Vintage: 2020
Grape Variety: Grenache
Region: Barossa Valley
Sub Region: Seppeltsfield
Origin: Barossa sub-region Seppeltsfield sits on the Western ridge of the Barossa, with a mix of red clays and shattered limestone. Old vine Grenache has thrived here for centuries, with the perfect balance of fruit density and structure being the hallmark. The wine is unrefined and unfiltered.
Winemaking: Destemmed into stainless open fermenters and pumped over twice daily for 10 days. Aged in seasoned 600L thick stave French Oak casks for 20 months, such that ageing is slower and less oxidative.
Bottling Date: August 2022
Tasting Notes: Notes of raspberry and cranberry immediately on the nose with hints of violet. Sweet fruit on the palate with grippy tannins and smooth texture. Taste plums, wild berries and cherry.
