One hundred percent grenache from a small block section in Alkina’s Greenock district vineyard, NASAA certified organic and biodynamic, the fruit picked early then the pressed free run juice moved to a single concrete tulip with a bucket or two of skins for the palest of pinks to develop. Florals and flints to start, the grenache giving its oft-seen white strawberry tops and watermelon notes with quite citrussy acidity driving a lip-smacking palate. Most refreshing and excellent retention of flavour in its long finish.
