A selection of our best two barrels of Grenache from the Smart Vineyard in Clarendon. This vineyard, planted in 1922, is one of the highest points in McLaren Vale. Crushed, destemmed, and matured in large format old French oak, with no fining of filtering. A pure expression of the Smart vineyard from 2023, to the best of our abilities.
