Torbreck – Hillside Vineyard Grenache 2020 (750ml)

Description

Winemaker Notes

This unique parcel of Grenache from vines planted in 1949 has all the bright, opulent fruit exhibiting plush red fruits such as red currant, red cherry and white plum, along a seamless tannin profile due to partial whole-bunch fermentation. The rich, luxuriant fruit was further enhanced by barrel maturation in a second fill 2400 litre ‘Boutes’ French oak foudre barrel, which perfectly balances the expressive fruit profile and the savoury, old world like characters that express complexities appealing to Grenache fans. Serve at 16C and pair with lamb dishes.

Made from bush vines planted in 1949 with subtle cloves and black pepper. Some asphalt. Medium-bodied with fine tannins. Chalky texture with black fruits and crushed stone minerality to it. Pure grenache. Spicy. Drink or hold.
