The bush-vine Grenache is dry grown and was established in Middle Swan way back in the 1950’s by the Vino Italia family. This cracking fruit was hand harvested by the family and delivered to the Dormilona winery with love. It was destemmed into opens and fermented on skins for around seven days. The juice was lightly basket-pressed straight to tank. It was racked off heavy lees to bottle with a little dabble of sulphur.
“Swan Valley grenache made by Margaret River based Jo Perry.
A very much lighter styled red, indeed, just a few rungs up the ladder from rose really, or could be rose anyway. Dark cherry, plumminess, a bit of peppery spice. Uplifting and refreshing, this is a wine destined to be drunk with a good chill. Great gear. Simple done well.” 91 Points. Mike Bennie, The Wine Front.
