Enchant Trinity 2022

$59

Enchant TRINITY is a deeply delicious wine blend of Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvèdre in the style of Châteauneuf-du-Pape. This southern Rhône style blended wine has rich fruit flavors, intense floral aromas, and hints of herbs and spices. A good Châteauneuf-du-Pape is first and foremost a wine lover's wine. It became famous first in France, then in Australia, where it is called a GSM, and finally in the USA, thanks to wine critic Robert Parker's praise.

This wine has a beautiful ruby hue in the glass and a deep, enchanting aroma of dark berry fruit. In the mouth, it has good weight, lots of fruit, but is elegant and complex with perfect soft tannins. The purity of fruit is otherworldly, and the textures are extraordinarily silky, elegant, and sensuous. This is a great lunchtime wine that is ready to drink now but will be fine in the cellar for seven to ten years.

Growing conditions in 2022 required careful vineyard irrigation and canopy management.

The lack of adequate winter rain together with frost in late April contributed to a lower-than-normal projected yield.

Minimal rainfall and high temperatures in early summer allowed for the fruit that successfully set in the spring to ripen quickly, and up to August moderate daytime temperatures and cool nights created excellent conditions.

However the 2022 harvest was fast-tracked by a heat wave which came as a bit of a surprise nevertheless all our varieties are showing excellent chemistries in the winery and getting grapes in a little early protects them from any further hot weather and the risk of wildfires.

French Oak for 22 months, approximately 40% new, 40% one use and the balance neutral.

Only 395 cases produced. No allergens or animal products were used in the making of this wine.
