'Time to Dance' - Grenache Noir 2023

Never have I seen a wine come to the party as quickly as this one- hence the name “Time to Dance”

• Grenache Noir grown by the Valenti family in the Swan Valley.

• Few vineyards tick all the boxes this one does- dry grown, own rooted, bush vines on sandy gravel soils.

• Hand-picked fruit was de-stemmed into open top fermenters with roughly 30% whole cluster inclusion.

  Ferment was handled very gently, working with old vines you don’t need much extraction, the concentration is already there.

• A single bucket of fermenting juice was splashed over daily.

• Basket pressed to old neutral oak for 7 months,

• No rackings were done until just prior to bottling in order to preserve fruit and freshness of the final wine.
