G & T 2022
$32.00
Tasting Notes
A Rioja inspired red blend, made from two estate grown Spanish varietals; Graciano and Tempranillo. This year’s blend is 49% Graciano & 47% Tempranillo with just a splash of Shiraz. The resulting medium-bodied wine is a combination of black cherry and lifted spice aromas, the palate is well structured with ample tannin and acid to age for many years.
Winemaker's Notes
Woody Nook Wines G&T 2022 was made from two separately fermented parcels of estate grown fruit; 0.97 tonne of Graciano hand-picked on the 30th March, 2022 at 13.1° baumé and 0.76 tonne of Tempranillo machine harvested on the 10th March, 2022 at 13.5 ° baumé. The Tempranillo was cold soaked for three days before inoculation with Clos yeast and fermented for eleven days on skins in an open fermenter with daily pump overs before pressing to stainless steel to complete malo-lactic fermentation (MLF). The Graciano was cold soaked for three days before inoculation with Clos yeast and fermentation on skins for ten days in small open fermenters with twice daily hand plunging before pressing to tank for malo. After careful blending, the wine was aged in older Hungarian and French oak barriques for six months maturation before fining, filtration and finally bottling in January 2023.
Only 104 dozen were produced.
