Its vineyards (old-vine) are nestled in the higher, cooler sub-regions of Blewitt Springs and Clarendon. And there seems a very obvious attempt to shorten the path between vineyard and glass via very careful viticulture and hands-off winemaking.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"From the home Blewitt Springs vineyard on Maslin Sands over ironstone and clay; 55-year-old bush vines; destemmed, 10 days on skins; matured in steel (75%) and an old puncheon. Like all the single vineyard wines, this is charmingly light in colour, with this initially reserved in aromatics. But air brings those out rapidly, bursting with dusky floral notes, marasca cherry and Middle Eastern spices, the key here, and across the wines, is an essential savouriness, a lack of poppy ease. And that’s very much to the good. The three are nuanced in their making, but not dissimilar in elaboration, the theme an absence of artefact, yielding a clear delineation between cuvées. Expressly red fruited, with a fragrant muskiness, a headiness of sultry fragrance, and a palate built on finely tooled tannin and clean acidity, it’s another beautiful wine from the exceptional 2024 suite. Stunning.\"\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e97 Points - Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Companion\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Willunga 100","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49761537261808,"sku":"210000054173","price":69.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/4824\/9840\/files\/Willunga100BlindSpotGrenache.png?v=1781692034","url":"https:\/\/craftwinestore.com.au\/products\/copy-of-willunga-100-grenache-2025","provider":"Craft Wine Store Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
