2023 Polygon No. 22
In 2023 Polygon No. 22 Grenache joins the full time Polygon line- up, having proven its exceptional quality over several years. Super fine, complex and alluring on the nose with aromatic red fruit, floral and jasmine notes. The palate is riven with nervous energy and juicy, crunchy red fruit. Some echoes of Polygon No. 3, which sits on a very similar base of limestone, with some schist rocks.

Tasting Notes
A haunting and ethereal wine with vibrant and high toned aromatics. Notes of orange blossom, lemon verbena and white pepper surround appealing red fruit. A wine full of tiny, fleeting moments. The palate is seamlessly integrated with mineral edges, intense fruit, fresh herbs and distinctly limestone-derived powdery tannin.
Vineyard Notes
Polygon No. 3 is just 0.274 hectares in size and contains approximately 200 vines. Working with terroir specialist, Pedro Parra, we identified this polygon to be unique in its limestone content. There is shallow red brown earth over deep chalky sedimentary limestone which contains fractured schist and the limited presence of iron. NASAA certified organic and biodynamic.
1471kg of Polygon 3 fruit was handpicked and delivered to the winery on the 15th of March. 70% of the fruit remained as whole bunches and was hand bucketed into concrete tulip, with the remainder destemmed. P3 spent a total of 27 days on skins before basket pressing and maturation in concrete egg until bottling in
August 2023.
