Atlas The Spaniard 2016 – This blend of 56% Tempranillo, 30% Mataro and 14% Grenache is from three sites in the Clare Valley: the Tempranillo from the south of the valley at Auburn; the Mataro from Leasignham; and the Grenache from Churinga Vineyard in Watervale

This red blend exhibits aromas of ripe strawberries, currants and sour cherries, with hints of spice and cured meats on the nose. The palate is savoury and complex, with dusty oak and ripe tannins giving the wine body and texture, and length and persistence of flavour.

KT 5452 Grenache Mataro 2016 – This wine has been produced using traditional techniques of open fermentation and basket pressing. Hand picked fruit was carefully selected from the 1930s planted dry grown grenache bush vines and fermented naturally on skins in picking bins. Gentle hand plunging of the individual ferments and minimal working has produced a vibrant wine with brooding, spicy fruit concentration and supple velvet tannins.

Basket pressed, the wine was matured both in tank and in a percentage of French oak and mainly 2 & 3 year old French oak barriques to ensure that the fruit is the defining feature. 2016 5452 grenache mataro is 60% grenache and 40% mataro.
