Sc Pannell Sunrise 99 Grenache 2022

Block 5, Little Branch Vineyard, Blewitt Springs, 103-year-old bush vines grown
on typically Blewitt Springs sand at 140m above sea level facing East. Unirigated,
managed organically, pruned and harvested by hand. The 99th vintage for the Sunrise block started with harvest on the 14th of March. Whole berries were gently shaken from the rachis and sent to a stainless steel fermenter for twice daily pumpovers. Gently pressed on the 29th of March and settled in tank for seven weeks before racking off gross lees and dispatch to a
ten year old French oak vat for malolactic fermentation and maturation. Racked once and bottled on the 1st of August 2023 without fining or filtration. You might find raspberry, cherry, Luxardo, cumin, citrus, grilled nuts, apricots on the tree, coffee, Turkish delight, spring flowers, sea spray and the purity of a mountain stream.
