The Old Legend Grenache
Wine
Hentley Farm The Old Legend Grenache is the winery's homage to Barossa Valley Grenache, which has been produced in various styles and blends for over 150 years.
The fruit is grown on an elevated eastern aspect, sloping upwards from Greenock Creek at Seppeltsfield. It is harvested in three separate passes of the vineyard, which are then fermented separately at the winery.
A small parcel is picked early in the season and given a short fermentation with some whole bunches. The largest parcel is fermented and sees extended maceration on skins. The final parcel, picked late in the growing season, provides richness.
All components are pressed directly to seasoned French oak barrels for natural malolactic fermentation and eight months of maturation.
Light yet vibrant red, Hentley Farm The Old Legend Grenache has red berry flavours, a savoury profile and full, even tannins. Cellaring potential is 10 years.
