Steve Leszczynski, Qwine: 95/100
Description
Stonegarden, Springton. Northwest block. Planted 1858.
Old Grenache on the dry side of the vineyard, with a little Mataro still in the rows. This is the mother site. The wine in the shop is from this block.
The back half of the year ran cooler and wetter, so the wine kept its natural acidity. Vegan.
