CLARENDON HILLS Clarendon Onkaparinga Grenache, McLaren Vale

This wine from vineyards in San Martín de Unx shows the personality of Garnacha from the Baja Montaña de Navarra and the wine-growing roots of this medieval town. The vineyards for this wine are 35 years old and sit on the slopes of the Zaramendi area at an altitude of more than 600 meters. The resulting Garnacha has intense floral and spicy aromas. Fresh and energetic, with slender and delicate structured tannins. A wine with true character.

Ruby red color not very heavy. The nose reveals floral notes, aromas of berries, raspberry, strawberries, cherries and spicy nuances and marascate. The taste is elegant with light fruity notes, intense freshness and a good persistence.

The baby wine of the estate expresses the young Garnatxa (Grenache) vineyards of the village of Bellmunt, in the south of Priorat. It is open and vibrant, light on the palate with a plethora of citric and peach sensations coupled with mineral notes and the refreshingly fine sweetness which sets Mas d’en Gil wines apart.

This Cannonau expresses the two souls of Sardinia, the land and the sea. The color is dark red with impenetrable violet reflections. Notes of blackberry jam, small red fruits combined with notes of leather and spices. Tannin present but elegant, structure and body, long persistence.

This is drawn from two parcels on the steep, granitic slopes of Saint-Jean-de-Muzols, the historic heart of Saint-Joseph that lies opposite the hill of Hermitage. Three-quarters of the blend comes from 1980s planted Syrah, while the remainder of the vines were planted in the 1950s. Both parcels are organically farmed without herbicides by the Desbos family, and both lie on steep gradients that necessitate work by hand and horse only. In the cellar, the winemakers work with around 20 to 30% whole bunches, and the wine matures for one year in used ex-Burgundy 228-litre oak casks for 11 months, followed by six months in tronconique. Bottled unfiltered, it’s a layered, deep, rocky style of St-Jo, with taut red and blue fruits complemented by crushed stone, dried dark flowers and iron filing nuances.
