2021 Jauma Ralph's Grenache

VARIETAL: Grenache
REGION: McLaren Vale, SA
VITICULTURE: Organic
WINEMAKER: James Erskine

"30 year old bush vines in grey sand on ironstone. Destemmed, fermented to dry, free run only, aged in barrel for 10 months. Top 1/3d of the Wood vineyard Grenache Block. This part of the block sees more natural water so vines and berries are larger than Alfred. Licorice, rose, very aromatic and ethereal."

James Erskine is an honours graduate in soil chemistry and celebrated sommelier. A leading light in organic farming and zero-adds wine. He also owns a certified organic cherry farm. How good.
