Troon Vineyard Glou Glou 2023

Vibrant ruby color. A bright aromatic display of strawberries, cranberries, and wild raspberries, with spiced herbal tea, rose hips, and rhubarb. On the palate, this is crushable and bright with a brisk and pleasant appeal. Flavors of tart cranberry relish and red apple peel with some deeper cherry fru

Glou-Glou Grenache began with 100% whole cluster grenache placed in a stainless steel tank. This was sealed up for two weeks of carbonic maceration, after which time the tank was opened up and the grenache was foot-treaded to initiate spontaneous alcoholic fermentation. The wine then fermented on its skins for another week, and was then pressed back to another stainless steel tank. It fermented for another week or two in tank sans skins before going completely dry.

After resting on its lees for several months, the wine was racked to a clean tank and a small amount of SO2 was added. Because the wine is kept sealed tight in a variable capacity stainless steel tank, CO2 from fermentation is prevented from degassing. Thus the wine is bottled with just the slightest spritz of bubbles, unfined and unfiltered.
