Concilio Grenache Blend

John Duval Wines Concilio Grenache Blend brings together Grenache, mostly from a block of old bush vines south of Tanunda in the Barossa, with a small amount of Shiraz or Mataro.

The Grenache ferments in small, open top fermenters. Up to one third of the fruit is included as whole bunches to build aromatic lift and savoury characters. The wine matures in a mix of tanks and seasoned French oak hogsheads.

The Shiraz or Mataro, depending on the vintage, is fermented and matured separately from the Grenache. The parcels are blended prior to bottling.

Red purple, John Duval Wines Concilio Grenache Blend is medium bodied with bright red fruit flavours, a soft texture and gentle savoury tannins. Best soon after release.
