Personalised Whistler Double Back Grenache 2023 13.3% 750ml

TASTING NOTES

APPEARANCE

Bright ruby red in colour.

AROMA

Beautiful floral aromas, this sings elegance. The whole bunch compnent adds a nice smokiness to the wine, and gives an extra layer of tannin that helps bring it all together.

PALATE

The palate is fresh and crisp with a layer of bright red fruits that draws the wine across the palate, makes you salivate and leaves you wanting more. The tannins are fine and elegant, and the acidity gives this wine a lot of precision on the palate.

REGION NOTES

60% of this blend comes from our 2001 Estate plantings, while the remaining 30% comes from Steve and Tracey Koch. This beautiful single vineyard head- ing towards Lyndoch was planted in 1976. The west-facing slope has quite a bit of red loam soil on top of limestone, giving the fruit great complexity. Spur pruned on permanent arms at both vineyards.

CELLARING POTENTIAL

Ready to drink now or cellar for 5-7 years.

VINIFICATION

20% whole bunch was used to give this wine some crunch on the palate, and some spice and lift on the nose. The remainder of the fruit was gently de- stemmed out in the vineyard and fermented as whole berries to give a nice carbonic maceration juiciness to the wine. The wild ferment was plunged twice a day in open fermenters for 12 days before gentle basket pressing. The wine was then aged in French oak foudre & puncheons for 6 months before blending and bottling with no fining.
