2016 Garnacha – Amphora
$35.00This is the first time Green Door has released straight Garnacha. Originally from Spain, Garnacha (or Grenache as it is otherwise known) is a vigorous varietal that needs taming. Our vines are now 20 years old and are producing intense flavoured fruit, giving rise to our first Amphora Garnacha.
The Garnacha fruit was hand-picked and de-stemmed into amphora clay pots lined with bees wax. Some whole bunches were added to the pots at this stage. The ferment was initiated using wild yeast. When dry, the ferment was pressed off into old oak for Malolactic fermentation and cellared for twelve months before bottling.
Tasting Notes
Brilliant garnet in colour, the aromas are dark cherries, cinnamon, vanilla and star anise. There is a soft medium bodied palate, with juicy raspberries and black jelly beans, and fine chalky tannins.
2016 Tempranillo – Amphora
$35.00The tempranillo fruit was hand-picked and de-stemmed into amphora clay pots lined with bees wax. Some whole bunches were added to the pots at this stage. The ferment was initiated using wild yeast. When dry, the ferment was pressed off into old oak for Malolactic fermentation and cellared for twelve months before bottling.
Tasting Notes
Dark cherry, purple red in colour. The aroma is earthy, spicy and Cacao. The palette is soft with a touch of rich plums, savoury with finesse.
2016 Tempranillo – El Toro
$25.00The Tempranillo fruit was hand-picked, de-stemmed into ferment vats and cold soaked for three days. Some whole bunches were added to the ferment vat at this stage. When dry, it was pressed off into old oak for Malolactic fermentation and cellared for twelve months before bottling.
Tasting Notes
Dark purple red in colour. Aromas of black olive, plum and a hint of tobacco leaf. The palette has blood orange, plum and black licorice, with chalky tannins. This tempranillo is a medium to full bodied wine.
2016 Grenache Shiraz Mouvedre – Spanish Steps
$19.95Grenache Shiraz Mouvedre (60/30/10%)
The Grenache Shiraz and Mourvedre fruit making up this wine was hand-picked from our and other Geographe vineyards. After crushing, the fruit was cold soaked for three days with the inclusion of some whole bunches to add texture and flavour. On the third day, the fruit was inoculated and as the ferment progessed, it was pumped over and plunged twice daily until dry. Once ferment was finished, it was kept on skins for two days before being soft basket pressed. Once pressed, the wine went into old oak and progressed through malolactic fermentation. It was then cellared for 12 months in old French oak before bottling.
Tasting Notes:
Plum red in colour. Strawberries and dark chocolate on the nose. The palate is fruity; with plum, black cherries and mulberries; and savoury with fine tannins and has a soft lingering finish. The GSM is a medium bodied wine.
2017 Verano – Sauvignon Blanc Semillon
$17.95Tasting Notes:
A medium dry white wine, pale straw in colour. The aromas are tropical fruits, and the palate is passion fruit, kiwifruit and lime zest. Crisp and refreshing, delicately balanced.
2017 Fiano
$25.00Fiano a “classical vine” of southern Italy that likely has its origins in ancient Roman viticulture and perhaps may have even been cultivated by the ancient Greeks before them. The Fiano vines are planted at the highest point of the vineyard, and cooled by our fresh afternoon sea breeze coming off the pristine Geographe Bay. As our first white wine variety we are very excited by the Fiano, which is characterised by the chalky minerality and citrus acidity you can expect from this classical vine.
Tasting Notes:
Pale straw in colour.
Aromas of bee’s wax, citrus blossom, oyster shell, and white sesame.
The palate is light to medium bodied with the beautiful citric acidity of grapefruit, and a chalky minerality.
2017 Fiesta – Late Picked Verdelho
$17.95In certain years when the weather conditions work perfectly we leave a portion of our Verdelho grapes hanging on the vine to dry a little giving us more intense flavour and a delicious citrus sweetness.
Tasting Notes:
A sweet white wine, pale straw yellow in colour. Aromas include lime zest and citrus fruit. The palate is well balanced and has clean acidity, with orange blossom and apricot flavours.
2017 Rosé – The Flamenco
$18.95The Flamenco Rosé is a blend of 60% Grenache and 40% Mourvedre Grapes grown in our vineyard. The Grapes were crushed, left on skins for 3 days and basket pressed off to a stainless steel vat for stabilisation.
Tasting Notes:
The Flamenco is a french style dry rosé, pink in colour, with strawberries and cream on the nose. The 2017 Rosé has fresh raspberries and stawberries on the palate with a delicate mouth feel.
