The 2024spring was wet and cold, which delayed budburst, allowing for slower shoot growth. Spring rainfall was higher than average, meaning there was higher disease pressure, but it also meant irrigation was kept to a minimum, if any. Grenache wasn’t affected by these pressures as it was harvested earlier. Summer was respectfully mild. The combination results in a later harvest, perfect for slow ripening and allowing flavour development while limiting sugar accumulation. Much more balanced, leaving us with elegant wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWinemaker: Fabiano Minchella \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarvested: \u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eGrenache 23 February 2025\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVarieties: \u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eGrenache 44%, Shiraz 28%, Mataro 28%\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOak Treatment: \u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003e10 months in matured American oak\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRegion: McLaren Vale 100%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnalysis: Alc: \u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eAlc: 14% , pH:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none white-space-prewrap\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003e, TA:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none white-space-prewrap\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\"\u003eg\/L, GF: g\/L\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"OYPEnA text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none white-space-prewrap\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard Drinks: 8.3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottled: 23 February 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"NSE Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48324794908829,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/0720\/8093\/files\/IMG-4769.heic?v=1756278080","url":"https:\/\/nsewines.com.au\/products\/2025-nse-j-block-gsm","provider":"NSE Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
