Willunga 100 McLaren Vale Grenache from McLaren Vale, Australia, is a vibrant Red (still) wine, dry and crafted entirely from Grenache grapes. This wine undergoes fermentation in stainless steel, with a portion of whole bunches, and 60% is transferred to seasoned French oak puncheons for malolactic fermentation, then aged on fine lees. It offers bright aromatic red cherry fruit, earthy spice, and liquorice notes, leading to a generous palate laden with red fruits, cardamom spice, and woody herbs, all framed by fine-grained tannins. The result is a juicy and vibrant wine. This wine is vegan and vegetarian-friendly, making it a versatile choice for various culinary delights, from roasted poultry to Mediterranean dishes.

Vinification

The three selected parcels were hand harvested and vinified separately. Fermentation took place in stainless steel, open-top fermenters. Two parcels were fermented with 20% whole bunch (equating to approximately 14% whole bunch across the wine). Gentle basket pressing took place after 10 days on the skins. Following primary fermentation, 60% of the wine was transferred to seasoned French oak puncheons to undergo malolactic fermentation. The wine remained on fine lees for 10 months prior to racking and bottling, unfined.
