This incredible vineyard has always been dry grown. Its topsoil is made up of wind-blown Maslin sands, atop residual alluvial sands, generally over ironstone and clay. The sand is up to 8m deep in parts of the vineyard, allowing roots to penetrate very deep. Michael spends a couple of days a week in this vineyard, tending to the vines by hand, next level care. The winemaking is fastidious and very detail-oriented, with all ferments going through in individual 1 ton batches, creating a suite of component wines to be used for putting together both the La Petite and V ranges. Extended maceration, foudre, older oak and amphora are all key components of these wines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"This release marks a significant milestone, as for the first time, we’ve extended the wine’s release to 24 months—a goal long held and now achieved. The key to this two-year cycle lies in the wine’s second winter spent in large format oak (Foudre)” MJC\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vanguardist","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44903704101026,"sku":"72910588337","price":70.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/6533\/4178\/files\/7_7c8eaff2-86ed-4a86-8489-52414e6c6bd2.png?v=1725950191","url":"https:\/\/spon.bar\/products\/2022-vanguardist-v-grenache","provider":"Spön Bottle Shop and Wine Bar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
