Pressing Matters

We pressed the first reds this week.  Young vine Syrah and Grenache.  The Syrah’s from the block we planted in 2003 and have been managing organically (i.e. no herbicides, pesticides or fungicides used in the vineyard).  The colour of the wine is intense, the aroma of sweet red berries and spice very concentrated and overall this is going to make a great blending component.  The Grenache has good structure and will give a solid foundation to the blend.
