The bush vine Grenache is dry grown & was established in the 1950’s by the Vino Italia family vineyard middle Swan. Cracking fruit, hand harvest by the family themselves & delivered to the Dormilona winery with love. Destemmed into opens & fermented on skins for up to 7 days. Light basket pressed straight to tank. Racked off heavy lees to bottle with a little dabble of sulphur. - Winemakers Notes
