Lucy Chilvers, Motty 2024
Place: Penedes, Spain
Grape: Grenache
Vibe: Juicy
Old vine Garnatxa given a juicy face lift. Light in body but not on flavour. This is so juicy and fresh, it needs an ice bucket and all your mates. To make wine this vibrant in Spain is not easy, especially without additions! Lucy got creative here. Half the fruit is destemmed and lightly crushed before being transferred to tank, the remaining whole bunches layered on top. A quick four days of soft maceration, with very low extraction follows. The Free-run is separated before the remaining skins are pressed very gently, before being blended back together. Serious clever, seriously fun. ABV: 11.5%
