Grenache Ecology The Hedonist

Following a wet winter in 2017, the vines were set up well for the growing season. Summer and early Autumn were unusually dry keeping disease pressure low. Favourable summer ripening weather with daytime temperatures in the high twenties, with cool nights, led to fruit in great condition at picking. This translated to a very civilised vintage, with all fruit coming into the winery in outstanding condition and in a very timely fashion. A standout vintage.
