Turkey Flat Grenache 2007
|
| |
|
|
Grenache is one of the most widely planted grape varieties in the world. Peter and Christie Schulz have very old, low yielding vines, gravely soil, and maturation in oak which are the ingredients needed to produce a full bodied style as this. Grenache is well known in Europe where the vignerons of the Rhône Valley in France and the Rioja in Spain hold it in high regard. The 2007 Grenache displays aromas of dark cherry, plum and spice. The palate is full with cherry chocolate and plum flavours, overlain with warmth and peppery spices.

Turkey Flat wines are made from four individual vineyard estates, all owned by Peter and Christie Schulz.The original Section One vineyard has the Shiraz, Grenache and small parcels of Mataro and Semillon. The highly regarded Cabernet Sauvignon is grown on the banks of the Bethany Creek in a small picturesque vineyard surrounded by ancient gum trees.Our famous Rosé is made from the Menge Road estate – Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Dolcetto vines are grown specifically for this purpose. The “Butchers Block” blend of Mataro, Shiraz and Grenache is sourced from the Stonewell estate. This vineyard is planted on a unique combination of red-brown earth soils (terra rosa) on a unique underlying limestone base. The Marsanne plantings are also at Stonewell.
All of the Turkey Flat wines are made in our Bethany Road winery using traditional open fermenters. We include cap plunging, cold maceration, submerged cap fermentation and “pumping over” in our winemaking. Barrel fermentation is followed by maturation in new and seasoned French oak hogsheads and barriques. Our climate controlled barrel hall as well as bottling on the estate further enhances the quality and delicacy of all of our wines.
