Danby is named after James Erskine's son and returns for the 2018 vintage as a fully carbonic Grenache. The grapes are sourced from organically farmed vineyards across McLaren Vale sub-zones including Blewitt Springs and Clarendon, with around 10% of the fruit coming from dry-grown vines planted on ironstone soils. Those unirrigated, rocky sites give the wine a subtle mineral backbone beneath its exuberant aromatics.
Whole bunches go through full carbonic maceration for approximately three weeks, then the wine is pressed to tank. No sulfur, no fining agents, no filtration. Wild yeast ferments the must with zero additions at any stage. The wine is sealed under crown cap.
The result is pale, bright, and highly aromatic: raspberry, cherry, and baking spice up front, with cranberry-like acidity carrying through a light, low-tannin palate. It drinks more like a serious Beaujolais cru than anything typically associated with McLaren Vale Grenache. The ironstone-grown portion keeps the wine from floating away into pure fruit confection.
Serve slightly chilled. Best enjoyed young while the carbonic lift and fruit brightness are at their peak.
