Bekkers - GRENACHE 2019

Bekkers Wine is the winemaking project of respected viticulturist Toby Bekkers and his French-born wife and winemaker Emmanuelle. Few can claim a more extensive understanding of McLaren Vale. Variety: 100% Grenache. “A great example of what can be done in the Vale with Grenache" 96 Points. Stuart Knox, The Real Review “Excellent in the glass...” 94 Pts Mike Bennie, TheWine Front In the cellar, 27% whole bunches were added to the fermenter and the remaining fruit gently destemmed (not crushed) and machine-sorted to remove any shrivelled berries. Cold soaked for 5-6 days. Natural fermentation (no yeast added). Gently fermented with the aim of minimising over-extraction. Basket pressed to aged French oak (500L puncheons). We choose to age our wine on fine lees with minimal sulphur additions before racking and bottling sans filtration.
