2016 5452 by KT grenache mataro…

Wines by KT are small, lovingly cared for parcels of fruit that have traditional techniques used in their creation. I’m passionate about the township of Watervale 5452 and am working with dry grown, sustainably farmed vineyards in the area. With gentle care from grapegrower to winemaker, working with both organic and biodynamic principles, it’s my intention to produce wines with drinkability and personality.

This wine has been produced using traditional techniques of open fermentation and basket pressing. Hand picked fruit was carefully selected from the 1930s planted dry grown grenache bush vines and fermented naturally on skins in picking bins. Gentle hand plunging of the individual ferments and minimal working has produced a vibrant wine with brooding, spicy fruit concentration and supple velvet tannins. 

Basket pressed, the wine was matured both in tank and in a percentage of French oak and mainly 2 & 3 year old French oak barriques to ensure that the fruit is the defining feature. 2016 5452 grenache mataro is 60% grenache and 40% mataro.
