The 2020 Stanley Groovy is an eclectic blend of 43% Touriga Nacional, 15% Tempranillo, 10% Souzao, 10% Tinta Cao, and the rest a mix of Syrah, Grenache, Cabernet, and Counoise. Brought up in 35-45% new oak, it has a deep ruby/purple hue as well as a ripe, sexy, complex, medium to full-bodied style offering lots of blueberries, wild strawberries, graphite, tobacco, and scorched earth. Ripe, mouth-filling, and loaded with character, it's going to drink nicely right out of the gate.

Winemaker Notes

The Walls 2020 Stanley Groovy Red Wine Blend was fermented in concrete and open and closed-top stainless steel tanks. Cold soaks for up to 5 days. Maceration ran 18 to 38 days. 100% free-run juice. Aged in 20% new French oak large format vessels. This is a Portuguese-varietal-dominant wine that is currently sourced from the Red Mountain AVA. STANLEY GROOVY is the character displayed on The Walls wines’ labels and the embodiment of our explorative and curious nature.
