SKU: WHWDBGREN23
60% of this blend comes from Whistler's 2001 Estate plantings, while the remaining 40% comes from a beautiful single vineyard heading towards Lyndoch, which was planted in 1976 and owned by Steve and Tracey Koch. The west-facing slope has quite a bit of red loam soil on top of limestone, giving the fruit great complexity. Spur pruned on permanent arms at both vineyards.

Wine Style

Red - juicy, smooth, medium-bodied

Palate

20% whole bunch was used to give this wine some crunch on the palate, and some spice and lift on the nose. The remainder of the fruit was gently destemmed out in the vineyard and fermented as whole berries to give a nice carbonic maceration juiciness to the wine.

Food Pairing

Roast Chicken

”A light, airy and beautifully spiced grenache from the Koch vineyard down towards Lyndoch in the south. 20% whole bunch gives this wine some sexy souk-like spice and there are hints of watermelon, cola, drying herbs, gingerbread and a whiff of sarsaparilla that flutters above the fruit base of raspberry, redcurrant and red plum. There's a chimera of mineral salts off in the peripheral olfactory vision, too. Good, funky drinking.”
