Inspired by the new wave ‘Vino Joven’ wines of the old world, Young Blood Grenache is released as a cheeky youngster with just a brief barrel maturation to showcase structure and varietal character, while retaining freshness and finesse. The fruit is open fermented utilising native yeasts, with 30% whole bunch in the mix. After 7 days maceration post-ferment, the wine is gently basket pressed and racked to stainless vats (50%) and old French oak hogsheads (50%) for 6 months maturation. Young Blood Grenache is pure, uncomplicated enjoyment.

Nose:
Wild-fermented with a portion of whole bunches. Low in oak (indeed mostly matured in stainless steel). It's fresh and nervous but it works.
Palate:
The fruit has a sweet-sour aspect, the flavours buoyant with fruit but flecked with earth and spice. Leathery notes add a softness. It's not deep in colour or flavour but it's tasty and delicious.
