WINEMAKERS NOTES Richard Langford:
This is the first release of Elderton Greenock two. Grenache has been an integral variety in the Barossa since the early days of grape growing in the region. Traditionally used for fortified wines, Grenache was very much battered by the vine pull scheme of the 1970s. Today, it is easy to make the case that Grenache blended with ist Rhone brethren of Shiraz and Mourvedre are the up and coming stars of the Barossa. Partnered alongside the best Shiraz, Grenache blends can make a significant one-two combination Punch to ensure the world sits up and listens!
Shiraz is typically the first to ripen and was open top fermented alone, with co-fermentation for the later ripening Grenache and Mourvedre. Both parcels were transferred separately to older French oak puncheons. The Shiraz was later added to the blend to enrich and balance the colours, aromas and flavours. Grenache offers luscious red and blue fruits, Shiraz a bit of pepper and richness and Mourvedre gives some real earthiness.
Style: Elderton Greenock Two shows soft, but textural.
Colour: Medium red with purple hues.
Aroma & Palate: Earthy, some pepper, blue fruits and violets.
Cellaring: Drink our Elderton Greenock Two now to 2022.
