2022 Gomas Grenache

A$60.00

Bright garnet in colour, Gomas offers up delicious aromas of raspberry compote, dark cherry and deep earthy tones. Palate is generous with red fruits, amaro spice and a hint of orange peel. Enjoy with Roast duck and hoisin sauce.

Grenache is considered by many to be the most consistent icon grape variety in McLaren Vale over the last 100 years. We feel privileged to be able to source fruit from the dry grown, bush vine Smart Vineyard in Clarendon for the first time. A site regarded by many to be the best in the region. Grenache is living proof that we can farm sustainably in terms of water usage over an extended period of time in our increasingly warm dry climate. The oldest vines were planted in 1922. They have never been irrigated. We strive to find other varieties like it!

Vineyard Smart Vineyard
Viticulturalists: Bernie and Wayne Smart
Situated at 230m above sea level, The Smart Vineyard provides a unique location compared to the vast majority of others closer to sea level. Fruit ripens much later and tends to be more perfumed, aromatic and medium bodied in intensity.
Red clay loams over a mix of quartz shale and limestone. Soils derived from this unit have good water retention properties and moderate fertility, perfect for root penetration and ultimately consistency and longevity
25% whole bunch. Open fermented for 10 days. Hand plunged twice daily. Indigenous yeast. No added acid, enzyme or tannin. 11 months oak maturation in old French oak puncheons. Lees stirred periodically.
This is quite literally the easiest wine we make. If it aint broke then don’t fix it. A hands-off, less is more approach to the winemaking is key here.
