MMAD Vineyards Grenache 2021

Planted in 1939. Lovely mild ripening conditions produced Grenache of great intensity. There is a purity and a density, but also a lightness that belies the energy and power of the fruit. The aromatics are intense and perfumed with notes of raspberry coulis, cinnamon and a hint of fennel seed which unfurl in the glass. The grapes were mostly destemmed and fermented as whole berries in open concrete and stainless steel before ageing in used 500 litre puncheons.
