Petite Sirah is a close relative to Syrah. Like Syrah, it is a dark-coloured grape that yields wines with floral aromas, deep colour and full, rich tannins. To moderate tannins, we fermented the grapes de-stemmed, as whole berries. Aging in twenty-five percent new oak over sixteen months has softened the wine.
The high quality level of the previously named "Old Vines" will be consistently continued in this Grunhauser. Only the origin is now more clearly specified by name. The Grünhäuser trocken shows clear origins on the nose; dark slate minerality, classic herbal spice, lots of ripe fruit and delicate scents of mint, woodruff and green tea.
