Yering Station Grenache 2023

Satsuma plums, wild raspberry leaf and Hollyhock. Some raspberry cordial and a twinge of tree sap. 100% whole bunch in open fermenters, gentle pump overs and the occasional hand plunge. Matured for 15 months in seasoned oak. The portion of carbonic maceration brings in a boisterous to the fruit backed by sandy tannins and plenty of plunging acidity. Still knitting together this is taut and terrific in its presence and untamed wild red berries. This feels confident and assured in its skin. Drink now or cellar for another 2-4 years further. Quite a drastic style from 2022 but equally compelling and a touch slinkier. Serve with slurped udon noodles and slivers of pork.
