2019 Kay Brothers Basket Pressed Grenache

Aged in French oak puncheons for 8 months. Dark red in colour with black shaded edges and a light red hue. Fragrant raspberry and red liquorice aromas are followed by hints of graphite, earth and plenty of pepper and spice. Juicy dark raspberry and ripe cherry flavours overlay an earthy graphite and spicy pepper back drop. Polished tannins finishing with good freshness and a spicy aftertaste that lingers nicely.
Drink over the next 3-4 years.
Alc. 14.5%

14 days on skins in open fermenters and 8 months in used French wood. The delicious results suggest it an apposite approach. Hard to think of a better estate grenache than this! Raspberry bon-bon, morello cherry and a lick of briar- and white pepper-doused tannins, sandy textured and thirst-slaking, confer a welcome savouriness. Delicious. Drink by 2024.
