Close menu

The Foundry Grenache Blanc caresses the nose with seductive floral aromas and delicately perfumed hints of lemon cream and white stone fruit. On the palate, this premium Grenache Blanc is lush and rich, yet with elegant restraint, excellent focus, pure fruit expression and a fine minerality on the mid-palate. Its fleshy mouthfeel and stunning texture finish with a long and subtly citrusy finish.

Treatment in the cellar

The hand-picked grapes were chilled overnight, whole bunch pressed the next morning and fermented with a high percentage of pomace (skins, seeds, stems) to add breadth and definition to the palate. Fermentation took place in older and previously-occupied French fine-pored Allier oak barrels and was partially spontaneous, without the addition of commercial yeast, giving the wine a certain savoury dimension with vibrant fruit expression. After fermentation was complete, the wine matured in barrel for another seven months before bottling.
