Ochota Barrels The Green Room 2021

The Green Room Grenache is a fresh look at Grenache from the Onkaparinga Hills.

The Grenache from a vineyard planted in 1946 is the focal point of this piece. Most of the fruit is whole bunch pressed with the fruit spending up to 88 days on skins.

Got a whole lotta skins. The detail here is mesmerising. 

Phenolics, clean natural acid and palate tension are the rhythm section of the wine, with floral highlights and bright fruit making up the melody and harmonics. 

This is a young, vibrant, dazzling version of McLaren Vale Grenache which just gets better every year.
