Turkey Flat Grenache
£24.50
Turkey Flat Vineyards is a family-owned estate that forms a vital part of the Barossa Valley’s rich cultural heritage. Christie is the fourth generation of the Schulz family to become caretaker of the remarkable property, and the fifth generation, Christie’s eldest son Alex, is now involved in running the winery. Intensely aware of the individual ecosystems in the area, extensive viticultural research has been undertaken in the five vineyard sites, allowing the team to sensitively blend traditional Rhône varietals that speak confidently of their origin.
The fruit for this wine was predominantly sourced from 98 year old Grenache vines grown on the Turkey Flat Vineyard. These old vines produce low yields of fantastically concentrated fruit, creating a style of Grenache which Turkey Flat has become famous for. Inspired by the savoury Grenache of the Old World – darker, tannic, herbaceous & spicy, this lascivious little wonder shows off its suitability for the climate in which it is grown.
Tasting Note:
The nose delivers black fruit and a subtle hint of bracken. The palate follows with a rich body of dark fruit compote and gentle spice, bound by a deep structure and modest oak integration.
