{"product_id":"alkina-polygon-5-grenache-2020","title":"Alkina, Polygon 5 Grenache, 2020","description":"This is Barossa Grenache treated like a Burgundy climat: a sliver of old vineyard just 0.37 hectares in size, singled out for its heavily fractured schist, then picked and vinified on its own. Alkina mapped the estate with terroir specialist Pedro Parra, and Polygon 5 is two neighbouring parcels where deeper soils sit over a thick band of micaceous schist, with veins of iron-rich clay running through the cracks. The estate's old vineyard near Greenock, on the western ridges of the Barossa, was first planted by Les Kalleske in 1955 and is now certified organic and biodynamic. Amelia Nolan, who runs Alkina with Alejandro Bulgheroni, has largely given up oak in favour of concrete and amphorae. Her reasoning: why capture micro-terroir flavours \"and then cover them up with the flavour of an imported tree\"? At 13.7% alcohol, this is a long way from the jammy Barossa stereotype. It's a dark, serious Grenache that shows how much detail the region can give. Only 695 standard bottles of the 2020 were made, so it's one to grab if you're curious.","brand":"Wildman [WMN]","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51044464164921,"sku":"NYC-W-WMN-`23361`-110226-7","price":279.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/1518\/0601\/files\/Alkina-Polygon-5-Grenache-2020-Red-Wine-Flatiron-Wines-Spirits-New-York.jpg?v=1793696431","url":"https:\/\/nyc.flatiron-wines.com\/products\/alkina-polygon-5-grenache-2020","provider":"Flatiron Wines \u0026 Spirits NYC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
