This is the highest part of the vineyard, with an elevation of 210 metres. It benefits from cool breezes coming off the Gulf of St. Vincent, protecting the fruit from diseases and enhancing the aromatic character of the wine, but they also ensure that the temperature is slightly cooler than it is lower down in the McLaren Vale. The soil is deep Maslin sand over a clay and ironstone base.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe fruit was hand harvested with 10% remaining as whole bunch and the remainder destemmed into stainless steel open fermenters. Fermentation took place on the skins, lasting for 10 days, during which time gentle plunging took place to ensure optimum extraction while maintaining the delicate aromatics. The wine was basket pressed off skins before maturation and malolactic fermentation on lees in stainless steel to retain fruit purity and freshness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWillunga 100 has focused on premium Grenache since its first vintage in 2005. It was the sensitivity to site that Grenache displays in McLaren Vale, that attracted owners David Gleave MW and John Ratcliffe during their first recce to the region. They became determined to showcase the old vine Grenache they came across in vineyard after vineyard, particularly at a time when few took this grape seriously.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ehttps:\/\/willunga100.com\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"London End Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64450655420793,"sku":"207126122","price":23.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/5405\/2509\/files\/Willunga100TrottVineyardBlewittSpringsGrenache.png?v=1788283813","url":"https:\/\/www.londonendwines.com\/products\/willunga-100-trott-vineyard-blewitt-springs-grenache-2022","provider":"London End Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
