{"product_id":"2025-paralian-marmont-vineyard-grenache","title":"2025 Paralian Marmont Vineyard Grenache","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Marmont Vineyard is a specific bit of dirt in Blewitt Springs that Skye and Charlie hadn't worked with before starting Paralian, but its reputation for quality was well-known. These are 1960s-planted, dry-grown Grenache vines on deep sand that produce fruit with a distinctive alpine herb aroma and a lighter, fine-boned structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the cellar, it's wild fermentation in a 137-year-old wax-lined concrete vat with 20% whole bunches. A unique touch here is that they hand-squeeze those whole bunches at the end of fermentation to get those bright, floral characters back into the wine. It then spends 10 months in a massive 18-year-old French oak foudre. Classic winemaking that wouldn't look out of place making cru Barolo or similar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's a highly aromatic Grenache - think raspberry, cranberry, and rose petals, with a cool, crisp line of acidity. The palate is medium-weighted and savoury, starting with tight tannins that open up and stretch out as the wine sits in the glass. It’s a serious, pure expression of Blewitt Springs that favours depth and length over raw power.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"There’s a compactness to this, a quietness on opening, fruit enmeshed presently, but there’s concentration, balance and prettiness within. Cranberry, ripe raspberry, damson plum, marasca cherry, some darker cherry, too. Hints of dusky rose, ground cinnamon, white pepper, brown cardamom, bitter herbs, the palate buoyant yet intense, the fine-boned tannins and enlivening acidity invigorating. There’s a lot yet to unfurl, but it’s all there.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Marcus Ellis (Halliday Wine Companion)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"Paralian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43923198705707,"sku":"2025 Paralian Marmont Vineyard Grenache","price":48.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2024ParalianMarmontVineyardGrenache.png?v=1752809212","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2025-paralian-marmont-vineyard-grenache","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
