Over 2 sold
The fruit for this Lake Breeze Old Vine Grenache was handpicked from the winery's 1932 planting of Grenache vines. Nurtured in open fermenters and aged for 10 months in two-year-old French barriques, this classic Grenache features a strong purple red colour. It opens with candied raspberry, redskin lolly and earthy characters flowing off the scintillating nose. The palate is juicy and smooth, with light tannins that swirl through supple red fruit flavours, leading to a slightly bitter yet refreshing finish. With adequate cellaring, this wine will age gracefully over the next 5 years. Pair this delicious wine with braised meats, stews, or washed rind cheese.
Lake Breeze winery lies on the banks of the Bremer River and is surrounded by majestic river red gums and overlooks the 80 hectare Follett family vineyard. The vineyards are managed by Greg’s brothers, Roger and Tim - whom he relies on to provide him with consistently outstanding fruit. The reserve wines are only made in outstanding vintages, and selected from the best parcels of fruit. The varieties grown on the vineyard include Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz and Chardonnay, with smaller amounts of Grenache, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Malbec.
