About 80% of the fruit was fermented with 70% whole bunches and two weeks on skins; 20% saw 10% whole bunch and four weeks on skins; matured in sandstone amphorae and older oak. Well, here’s a thing. The darker tones of the Trott fruit are here, but decidedly in the red zone – deep red cherry, pomegranate molasses (not confected, just concentrated), dried cranberry, warm terracotta, crushed dark roses, caraway, white pepper and Baharat spices. There’s a bit of bunch for a cool year, but it quietly meshes in, upping the savoury interest while creating an engaging warp and weft of tannin, intricately woven, fine yet determined. This is detailed, layered and just so engaging. What a triumph.\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;\" lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2023 Hope Springs Eternal Grenache - 96 points, Gary Walsh, The Wine Front\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis is from 1952 plantings on the Trott Vineyard. 70% whole bunch.

Medium-bodied at most, spicy, a pomegranate tang through a dark fruit profile, crushed stone tannin, orange peel, something of a Barbaresco thing happening here too (again, don’t mind me), with a peppery and dusty finish of excellent length. Wonderful wine. Beautifully made.
