"Violet and cherry blossom bouquet. Cherry lollies. Tense palate with bright acidity and creamy, chocolatey oak, lots of white pepper spice, raspberries, red plums and a meaty chew to the texture.
The vines were planted in the early 1960s on a shallow, light sandy soil over flint and quartz. We find the sandy soil profile gives smaller berries with thicker skins, giving wines of a darker colour than is usual for Grenache. The sand gives a fruit profile of strawberries and raspberries, a brightness against which the sprinkling of white pepper shines. The flint and quartz give the wine a mineral backbone and powdery texture." - Greenock Creek
