Tasting Notes
Ruby red with light pink hues. A perfumed floral fragrance of strawberries and raspberries. Bright red fruits jump from the glass showing excellent varietal expression. Light to medium bodied wine with a crunchy lively red berry flavour. Hints of savoury spice arising from whole bunch fermentation to add slight grip and texture and creates wonderful length on the palate
History

Vale, consists of over 200 acres of premium vineyards, making it Australia's largest organic and biodynamic estate.
Regional Information
Landcross Farm is located to the north west of McLaren Vale township. The gentle westerly slope of the grenache block consists of brown, clay loam over limestone soils. Bush vines are managed biodynamically for ultra premium quality. Viticulture practices are fully certified organic and biodynamic.

Vinification Details
We hand picked our bush vine Grenache at optimum sugar and flavour balance. 20% of the harvest was used as whole bunches, with the remainder gently de-stemmed. A slow, cool ferment helped capture the character of the vineyard and acombination of pump overs and plunging for 14 days enhanced depth of flavours. When fermentation was finished the must was pressed to 1 year old French oak barriques for maturation of six months prior to blending and bottling
