Take It To The Grave Coonawarra Grenache 2023 (Australia)
Vibrant red in colour and beautifully fragrant. Aromas of raspberry, cherry & plum with a dusting of brown spice and white pepper. Medium weighted yet mouth-filling with ripe fruit flavours and fine tannin structure driving a lovely long flavour-packed finish.
The winter and spring prior to the 2023 vintage was generally a little wetter and cooler than what is usual, delaying the start of vintage and meaning some extra care was required through the growing period. Whilst the vintage was indeed later than usual, there were some really beautiful parcels of fruit that benefited from being grown in sites where the slower ripening simply enabled flavour ripeness to be achieved with character & balance.
The fruit is partially hand-harvested before de-stemming and cool fermentation in small two tonne open fermenters with regular hand plunging. Matured in seasoned French oak (20% new French) for six months before bottling with minimal filtration and sulphur addition.
Take it to the Grave is a joint venture between Nicholas Crampton and South Australian winemaker Corey Ryan created to deliver interesting and rewarding wines whilst challenging a few established rules and preconceptions.
