As some of you may know, I love this blend of Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre. Here we are in Chile with a twist as the winemaker/owner has added 5% Roussanne to the blend, which gives it extra lift and freshness.
Grenache and Syrah are harvested together and co-fermented in concrete with native yeast. Then added are pulp and skins from Roussanne, which was harvested for a straight white wine 10 days earlier (also co-fermented). Mourvèdre comes in 2.5 weeks later and with much lower Brix (sweetness), so they leave some Grenache and Syrah hanging to over-ripen and co-ferment with the Mourvèdre. No oak at all as it is all about the fruit!
The label might not draw you in but the nose ceretainly will once you have pulled the cork. 14.5% vol.
