Ochota Barrels Fugazi Grenache 2024 750ml

fugazi

and its back…

this was the first wine made back in 2008 when taras and amber started ochota barrels- a tiny parcel of grenache picked up in the back of the kombi van and named fugazi for the band that was playing

produced from 77 year old dry grown bush vines on the blewitt springs ridge- tiny berries and a miniscule yield from an incredible vineyard

the taut nervous tension of compact red currents and satsuma plums fills the mid pallet with mouth watering red berry intensity

finely grained tannins position this svelt, fleshy and measured weight of forest cherries and persimmons into a long succulent and savoury finish
