They branched away early from the Bordeaux craze that was sweeping the state and planted Grenache and Syrah.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReaching up to the highest point on the estate, the Grenache grapes that go into Pandora are planted in a terraced vineyard on chalky soil. The wine itself was designed to convince Californians that Grenache was a grape worthy of attention - something French and Australian wine drinkers needed little swaying on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wine was fermented in an open-top vat before spending nearly three years in large French oak barrels of various ages. The result is a wine of vibrant red fruit, a solid hit of fennel and a long, long finish.\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alban","offers":[{"title":"750ml \/ Pandora","offer_id":54032268820763,"sku":"128982","price":595.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0969\/0457\/7307\/files\/alban_vineyards_pandora_2013.jpg?v=1790315948","url":"https:\/\/finewinemerchant.com.au\/products\/2013-alban-vineyards-pandora-red-blend","provider":"Fine Wine Merchant","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
