What to Expect

Grenache is the main grape in many Rhone blends and most Cotes du Rhone and Chateaunuef-du-pape. It's a grape that yields soft, lightly colored yet full wines endowed with deep notes of strawberry and raspberry. While not prone to producing particularly rich or complex wines in France, Grenache is one of the world's most widely-planted grapes, producing unique expression where ever it is planted. It is particularly common in Spain as Garnacha, and Sardinia, as Canonnau,

Winemakers Notes

This vineyard was planted in 1925 in the conventional bush vine manner with no trellising.

The vineyard is very steep and faces due east, the soils contain high levels of ironstone, rock and quartz.

This is the highest part of the Blewitt Springs Vineyard and also the lowest yielding, about one tonne to the acre. The grapes are handpicked, usually quite early in the season, due to very low crops and the ability of Old Grenache to ripen.

The wine is made like all Clarendon Hills Wines, with natural yeasts and minimal intervention but sees no new oak barrels, read more...
