Pirramimma Wines-Ironstone Old Bush Vine-Grenache-2014-750mL

For this exceptional Grenache we selected parcels of fruit from our “War Horse” vineyard planted in 1944 and our “Katunga” block planted in 1968. The handpicked parcels were fermented in our original concrete vats, with thrice daily pump overs. After primary fermentation the wine was drained and the must basket pressed, added together then matured in older French oak barriques, thus ensuring distinctive varietal characters are maintained. The wine displays as exotic perfumed nose of red cherry, rose petal, raspberry and hints of spice and chocolate, with the palate delivering rich raspberry, spicy black plum, mulberry, fruit cake and a touch of toffee apple, enhanced by fine grain tannins. This quintessential Grenache exhibits great power and length of flavour. Will develop under the right cellaring conditions for up to 10 years.
