Grant Nash is a celebration of Grenache and this is our first bottling of a straight Grenache or Vitamin G, as we call it, because it's essential for a happy life!
Dark, broody and evocative; Vitamin G is an exploration into Grenache’s darker side and it takes a few moments to unfurl it’s full potential in the glass.
The nose is complex and constantly evolving to show dark cherries, plums, white pepper, cardamom and a sprinkle of cocoa powder and baking spices. Hints of orange peel and amaro add to the intrigue. The palate is a seamless mix of plush, dark fruits woven with supple, polished tannins.
The Grenache is hand harvested from gnarly old McLaren Flat bush vines planted in 1941 and the smaller, more concentrated bunches were selected for Vitamin G. A little dollop of Mourvèdre was added to accentuate the darker, spicier notes.
Open fermentation, hand plunged, matured in French oak puncheons, no fining or filtration.
