Original gardener Clarence Hordacre – son of the Penwortham Coachman – worked several sections during the 1920s through 1950s and was a Steward at the prestigious annual Watervale Fruit Flower & Produce Show. 100% estate grown Grenache, Alc/vol 14.0% Total Acid 6.2g/L pH 3.26.
As with the 1954 Plantings Grenache, fruit was 100% destemmed and fermented for in 1T flowerpot fermenters. Some components getting up to 30 days of skin maceration prior to spending 9 months in older 500L French oak puncheons.
Dark red scarlet, with pungent raspberry & cranberry over rosemary aromatic uplift. Chased in the glass by lush ‘pillows’ of fruit stretching out to finish with juicy ‘jubey’ slightly sweeter concentration, almost Turkish. Delightedly, supported by powdery tannins. A ‘deeper darker’ version – with an extended length of palate – when compared to the ‘1954 Plantings’ Grenache… this wine sits beautifully balanced at the serious end of middleweight.
