2014 Ochota Barrels The Fugazi Grenache Mc Laren

The Fugazi Vineyard was allegedly named from a quirk the post-hardcore punk band Fugazi was playing on Taras and Ambers car stereo as they arrived at the vineyard, which sits on a rise between the Onkaparinga River Gorge and Blewitt Springs in McLaren Vale. The grapes are handpicked and undergo a 7 day cold soak. 70% whole-cluster fermentation occurs naturally without inoculation and the juice spends 82 days on skins! This is a pure expression of Grenache, checking in at a modest 13.8% alcohol even in a riper vintage like 2014.
