De Bortoli Phi Grenache Amphora Freeman’s Bridge 2022

De Bortoli have been using amphora for some years now and here is a perfect example of what it can do with a wine. It was very much a handcrafted wine and was fermented and then matured in amphora clay pots for about 8 months. Something happens in this process which impacts the wine and gentle rose petals, and subtle earthy notes of Grenache. The palate is so seamlessly integrated with fine tannins, allowing the fruit to roll effortlessly towards a long, focused finish. We love this style of wine.
