Description

Fryer's Cove Grenache Cinsault 2022

Grape Varietals & Region: A blend of Grenache & Cinsault. Coming from vineyards of average age of about 20 years planted close to the Atlantic

Taste Profile: This medium-bodied wine is bright and exuberant in colour with light violet hues. It is packed with aromas of wild raspberry and a hint of clove spice. It boasts smooth tannins with a heightened acidity, giving it a bright finish.

Winemaking Process: Fermentation takes place in open top tanks with gentle pump overs 3 times each day to extract colour, flavour, and supple tannins to create a harmonious wine with a bright character and elegant finesse.

Bright & Easy Reds

Easy drinking red wines with bright fruit aromas and low tannins. The wines are often released without much aging in tank, oak barrels or bottle, and are meant to be drunk early

These wines typically can be nejoyed without food, and are usually served cooler. They can be light bodied wines like Beaujolais, or light extraction styles that do not emphasize tannin & color extraction
