Blewitt Springs Grenache

Clarendon Hills Blewitt Springs Grenache is drawn from a McLaren Vale vineyard planted in Blewitt Springs in 1920. The vines are low yielding and dry grown in pure sand top soil.

The handpicked grapes ferment as whole berries with wild yeast to increase retention of the grape's varietal character and minimize bitter tannins. All pressings are returned to the barrel.

The wine is matured for 18 months in new and seasoned tight grained French oak. The final barrels are hand selected. It is bottled onsite without fining or filtration.

Deep ruby, Clarendon Hills Blewitt Springs Grenache has rich red fruit flavours, fine boned tannins and bright natural acidity. Cellaring potential is 10 years.
