{"product_id":"spinifex-garcon-grenache-2023","title":"Spinifex Garcon Grenache 2023","description":"\u003cp\u003eCelebrating the legacy of Barossa Valley Grenache, Pete Schell sources this wine from four dry-grown, old-vine parcels in the Barossa Valley with vine ages ranging from 35-100 years old. All four of the sites are dry-grown and manually harvested.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe winemaking was very much in the traditional Spinifex mould: slow, natural fermentations with gentle pump-overs and foot-stomping. With a focus on freshness and drinkability allied to a supple core of Barossan generosity and depth of flavour, the 2023 Garçon was crafted with a heathy pinch of whole bunches, and fermentations took place in stainless steel and concrete. Maturation took place on light lees in a selection of vessels including steel vats, seasoned, thick-staved 600-litre demi-muids, with an additional stint in 2,500 litre foudre. Bottled unfined and without filtration, eight months after harvest. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt pours into the glass a gorgeous garnet red and tastes as good as it looks. Evocatively aromatic, crushed raspberries, cherry spice and rose petal waft out of the glass and lead to a delicious, vibrantly fruited palate. Plum skin acids and fine sandy tannins drive the finish. How it is possible to produce a wine of this class, at this price, from vines of this age is beyond us… Pete? \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Spinifex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47979863572718,"sku":"26132-750","price":18.9,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/7468\/3630\/files\/db7f4d85-6d47-f111-ac45-0a257dfb1f4f_26132-750.png?v=1777878378","url":"https:\/\/www.bibendum.com.au\/products\/spinifex-garcon-grenache-2023","provider":"Bibendum Wine Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
