Details and technical informations about Winery Woodvale's MCD Grenache.
Discover the grape variety: Chichaud
Simple and fresh dry whites with a pale golden robe, a supple palate with moderate acidity, showing understated aromas of citrus, white flowers and southern herbaceous notes. Rustic, airy profile. Preserved in INRAE varietal collections, it bears witness to the pre-phylloxera ampelographic diversity of the Southwest and is among the heritage varieties being studied. Rare French white grape formerly grown in the Southwest, now nearly extinct.

The wine region of Clare Valley
Australian reference for racy high-altitude Riesling (Mid North, 142 km north of Adelaide): the white king, austere when young — dry and mineral with notes of lime, orange blossom, crisp apple and a flint touch, taut acidity and exceptional ageing (5-7 years to decades). Signature Shiraz in reds (35%), powerful with notes of blackberry, plum, spices and a minty touch. Firm Cabernet as support. Cool climate, red-brown soils.
The wine region of Australie du Sud
Cradle of the great Australian Shiraz: powerful, sun-drenched reds with notes of blackberry, candied plum, pepper, chocolate and eucalyptus, ample tannins and vibrant fruit (Barossa, McLaren Vale). Firm, minty Cabernet Sauvignon on Coonawarra (terra rossa). Dry, lemony Riesling from Clare and Eden Valley, straight and taut. Fresh Sauvignon and Chardonnay from Adelaide Hills.
The word of the wine: Bordeaux barrel
Barrels of 220 to 225 litres. The toasting of the barrel to bend the staves (curved boards used to make the barrels) can vary according to the coopers and the demand. A gentle and slow toasting has little effect on the aromas. On the other hand, a strong toasting gives aromas of coffee or cocoa which will influence the taste of the wine. A wine barrel has already been aged for a year and has less impact on the wine than a new barrel.
