Whistler Double Back Grenache 2022The Story Behind The Label In 2014 we were harvesting grenache for ros from our 2001 estate plantings. 3 days after the pick, we noticed an entire row (row 17) was still hanging. My Dad of course denied responsibility, claiming to have never missed a row in 45 years of viticulture. He clearly needed glasses! We decided to hand pick the remaining row of fruit direct to barrel and footstomped in the vineyard. Years down the track, we don't deliberately

The Story Behind The Label

In 2014 we were harvesting grenache for rosé from our 2001 estate plantings. 3 days after the pick, we noticed an entire row (row 17) was still hanging. My Dad of course denied responsibility, claiming to have never missed a row in 45 years of viticulture. He clearly needed glasses! We decided to hand pick the remaining row of fruit direct to barrel and footstomped in the vineyard. Years down the track, we don't deliberately miss a row, but we do incorporate that whole bunch component that adds a distinct rose petal lift to this wine. 

The Fruit

60% of this blend comes from our 2001 Estate plantings, while the remaining 30% comes from Steve and Tracey Koch. This beautiful single vineyard heading towards Lyndoch was planted in 1976. The west-facing slope has quite a bit of red loam soil on top of limestone, giving the fruit great complexity. Spur pruned on permanent arms at both vineyards.

Winemaking

20% whole bunch was used to give this wine some crunch on the palate, and some spice and lift on the nose. The remainder of the fruit was gently destemmed out in the vineyard and fermented as whole berries to give a nice carbonic maceration juiciness to the wine. The wild ferment was plunged twice a day in open fermenters for 12 days before gentle basket pressing. The wine was then aged in French oak foudre & puncheons for 6 months before blending and bottling with no fining.

The Wine

2023 was a great year for Grenache, with warm, dry conditions throughout vintage allowing ripeness to be reached while still retaining great natural acidity. Bright ruby red in colour, with some beautiful floral aromas, this sings elegance. The whole bunch component adds a nice smokiness to the wine, and gives an extra layer of tannin that helps bring it all together.

The palate is fresh and crisp with a layer of bright red fruits that draws the wine across the palate, makes you salivate and leaves you wanting more. The tannins are fine and elegant, and the acidity gives this wine a lot of precision on the palate.

Easy to use.
Works well. Light is bright. Our new patio umbrella does not have e a center pole, so the lights get somewhat blocked. But still pretty useful.

Easy portability & Strong umbrella support
Size: 19inch
Its exactly as advertized! Pros: • rolls well • medium sized (not a tripping hazard & corner fit under the edge of all my furniture) • holds tall (through center of table) umbrella while open in minor wind with water-filled option. • multiple size umbrella pole insert included • Clear instructions. • easy to use brakes (on 2 wheels for security...4 wheels would be annoying to use every day) Cons: • will still roll with brakes on with a little force when I'm being lazy...it should not be this easy (I usually have a corner of the stand tucked under a piece of furniture anyways) • I would call this "light heavy duty" rather than "sturdy heavy duty" with water-filled option. I'd imagine sand + water as suggested would actually be heavy duty. • re-design suggestion: base of umbrella could extend down below the water tank for sturdier hold, but this is the best I've found.

Good buy
Size: 19inch
Filing it with sand (50 lbs) was a very slow process, but I got it done. The wheels are very convenient for moving the umbrella around, and the wheel locks seems to work well. So far I'm quite satisfied with the base.

Great product

Excellent quality! Highly recommend. I love that you can wheel it around to other areas and the wheels lock in place.
