Whistler Double Back Grenache 2022 13.9% 750ml

TASTING NOTES

APPEARANCE

Bright ruby red in colour.

AROMA

Some beautiful floral aromas, this sings elegance. The whole bunch component 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.

VINIFICATION

30% 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 destemmed 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.
