Fermented in static fermenters co-inoculated with malolactic bacteria, with gentle pump overs each day before sitting on skins for week. Each parcel was then pressed, settled and matured with a selection of American oak for 14 - 18 months prior to being blended.
This Grenache has a lifted bouquet of raspberries, dark cherries and a hint of white pepper. Its palate is well integrated with light toasted vanillin and pomegranate complementing the dark cherry flavours.
A barrel selection of distinguished parcels of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot this limited release of ACJ has outstanding varietal and regional characteristics.
