Clarendon Hills Romas Grenache 2021

The Romas Grenache is a single-site wine from a bush vine patch planted in the 1940s. This is the steepest stoniest section of the Blewitt Springs Grenache site previously tasted. The old gnarly bush vines are dry-grown and are extremely low yielding. This site has a due East aspect and is located at 240 metres above sea level and represents Blewitt Springs’ higher altitude stony geology with fewer areas of sand and more quartz, ironstone, and shale content. The rocky soils impact most noticeably on reduced yields and added concentration.
