Save Our Souls Grenache
Aromas of Plum jam, Turkish delight, raspberry, cinnamon, black pepper and rusted iron. Despite the bright fruit on the nose the palate is savoury with great definition, length and chewy tannin. At the Northern end of the Heathcote GI the climates is truly continental with hot days and cool nights. These warmer days ripen Grenache easily and help to build flavour. The 2022 fruit was harvested in the last week of March following some hotter weather towards the end of ripening. After destemming the must was fermented on skins for 9 days before pressing. A wine inspired by some of the great producers of the southern Rhône it is fresh and expressive in its early life.

Chalmers Nero d'Avola
The Chalmers familys commitment to innovation and excellence has made them a pivotal force in the Australian wine scene for over 20 years.
