Place
Sourced from the sub region of Watervale, Clare Valley.
Vintage Conditions
A dry, cool autumn in 2021 lead into good winter rains. Above average spring falls gave way to a very cool, dry summer of 2022. These conditions slowed the ripening of the grapes, resulting in full flavours and good natural acidities. Overall conditions were
reminiscent of those seen a decade ago, ideal for the variety making it a rare vintage where quantity is good, and quality exceptional.
Winemaking
Grenache from old, low-yielding, dry grown vineyards within the Watervale sub-region of the Clare Valley were vinified separately, the parcels remained separate until
the final wine was assembled. Maturation in a selection of seasoned French oak puncheons for nine months provides a softness and elegance to the plush velvety palate.

2022 Golden Hillside Ridgeline Grenache
Overview
"A gorgeous rendition of the variety, the enticing bouquet shows dark cherry, Black Doris plum, rich floral, vanilla and roasted hazelnut aromas. The palate delivers terrific weight and silky texture, beautifully framed by layers of polished tannins. It's flavoursome and expansive with a sustained, satisfying finish." - Sam Kim, Wine OrbitPlace
