Ripe Grenache is crushed and cold-soaked on skins for colour extraction, followed by slow fermentation to capture natural strawberry and raspberry fruit sweetness. To this, we blend in a component of dry Cabernet Rosé to add structure and crisp acidity, while barrel-aged Chardonnay pressings help contribute to a creamy mouthfeel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;\"\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;\"\u003eStrawberries and cream on the nose, followed by an intense red fruit middle palate.

These vines, planted in 1930,\u003cbr\u003e consistently yield extraordinarily dark and flavourful grapes. The original\u003cbr\u003e custodians of this ancient vineyard, the Townsend family, first planted vines here\u003cbr\u003e circa 1905. The estate's rugged and isolated setting, particularly during those early\u003cbr\u003e years, reflects their own adventurous and pioneering spirit, akin to our own\u003cbr\u003e winemaking patriarch, Douglas Collett. So, through this wine we make a testament\u003cbr\u003e to them, the Townsend family and pay homage to those with the grit and\u003cbr\u003e determination to plant and pioneer the region of McLaren Vale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKING\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Our old vine Grenache was harvested in stages, with a mix of winemaking\u003cbr\u003e techniques in mind. A portion of the vineyard was hand-picked for our ‘whole\u003cbr\u003e bunch’ batch, which was fermented in open stainless-steel vats. This was done at\u003cbr\u003e two distinct stages of the vintage to produce different batches with varying fruit\u003cbr\u003e ripeness and acidity. The rest of the vineyard was picked at full ripeness and\u003cbr\u003e fermented in closed rotary fermenter, allowing for greater extraction of tannins and\u003cbr\u003e concentration of intense red fruit character. Each batch was kept separate for\u003cbr\u003e maturation in a combination of stainless steel and seasoned oak barrels. After 8\u003cbr\u003e months of maturation, the wines were blended over several sessions before being\u003cbr\u003e sent for bottling. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTASTING NOTES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;\"\u003eThe 2025 Townsend Grenache presents an intense array of complex flavors that\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;\"\u003einstantly capture your attention.
