Shatter, Grenache, Languedoc, France 2021

Description

A collaboration with Joel Gott and Charles Bieler, Shatter Grenache Red Wine is an obsession with Grenache and terroir. There’s an underlying minerality throughout with the distinct ferrous quality that schist delivers. The palate is pure and powerful, but has structure and a backbone, that holds it all together. Shatter comes from the small town of Maury in the Roussillon region of France. They used slower fermentations (all native) and extended time on the skins and some stems to add a textured backbone to the wine. Half of the wine was aged in 1-3-year-old barrels.
