Bethany Old Vine Greanache 2006
(Barrosa) Awards Bronze - 2008 International Wine & Spirit Competition Bronze - 2008 Royal Melbourne Wine Show Bronze - 2009 International Wine Challenge Tasting Notes Made from 100% Grenache grapes grown on some of the Barossa's oldest bush vines, hand-pruned and hand-picked, it is unusually deep in colour for a pure Grenache. The nose is warm and spicy with red berry fruit aromas and these are continued on in the rich, well textured palate and the long soft tannin finish. All in all a typical harmonious Barossa style, which will go well with roasted pork with dumplings or lambs fry and bacon. We recommend decanting for two or three hours before serving. Vineyard Notes The Grenache fruit is sourced from very low yielding 120 year old bush vines which are hand pruned to 50 – 60 buds per vine. These old vines are grown on their own roots rather than grafted rootstock, naturally limiting the canopy growth and allowing for better fruit exposure to sunlight. This exposure ensures even ripening of the grapes with enhanced fruit flavour esters and colour ripeness. The fruit is hand picked very late in the season at optimal ripeness.
