Bush Vine Grenache really shows how well McLaren Vale and Grenache are suited. This is a complex and powerful wine, where fresh wild berries, cherry and red liquorice intertwine with dried herbs, rustic spice and fine boned tannins, all held together by a refreshing acidity. A single vineyard bush vine block on the outskirts of McLaren Flat, right on the border of the famous Blewitt Springs Sand. The vines are 60 years old and dry grown. From very low yielding vines, handpicked. 20% whole bunch to bottom of fermenter, with destemmed whole berries on top. Two weeks gentle hand plunge, matured in seasoned French puncheons for 12 months.
