2023 Hewitson UNGRAFTED Grenache 750ml
These ungrafted Grenache vines yield grapes meticulously handpicked and undergo whole-bunch fermentation in open vats. After maturation in aged French barrels on lees, the wine is thoughtfully racked and bottled as a limited-edition cuvée.
Alcohol ABV: 13.5%
Critic tasting note: (2023 vintage) "As I was pouring this wine – the pale ruby tones hinted this was going to be a cracker. I am loving this new wave of ethereal Grenaches, and this wine does not disappoint! Whole bunch and old barriques sound good already. So so pretty, I was getting candy floss, crystalline violets and a lovely lightness on the palate. This airy Grenache has so much good about it and I am loving the light touch- pretty florals bound across the palate, fine powdery tannins support with a lick of baking spice oak while the constant violet prettiness ripples through the palate. Yum." - Winepilot
