Glen Monaghan grew the Grenache for the 2024 Vintage.

2024 Glen’s Vineyard Grenache – Picked on 8/3/24. 9% whole bunch. 14 Days on skins pre-ferment, 8 day ferment, 55 days on skins post ferment. 182 days in a sandstone amphora.

The 2024 vintage was much drier and warmer than 2023. The resultant wines have less spice but more inherent power. Less whole bunch was used to push the fruit and tannin forward.
