Description

With conviction, he boldly asserts that this Grenache matures into a state of grace that rivals even the esteemed McLaren Vale Shiraz. As time progresses, Grenache is poised to ascend the ranks, poised to claim its rightful title as the hallmark wine that encapsulates the essence of McLaren Vale. Experience the essence of place in every exquisite sip, as Grenache emerges as the true embodiment of our terroir.

Review

A gloriously detailed, focussed and concentrated rendition of Grenache, this has a punchy and energetically youthful stance. The nose has such fresh and vivid raspberries and boysenberries, together with some red plums, floral bursts and a gently sappy edge. Such pure fruit here. The palate has a smooth outer layer that glazes compact, fine and layered tannins seamlessly. Super-fresh finish with bright acidity. The fruit power here is supercharged.

Experience the transition from lush red raspberries that seamlessly evolve into the depths of black fruits. Picture yourself indulging in the succulent embrace of pink watermelon, accompanied by the nostalgic sweetness of musk lollies. Delight in the enchanting presence of rose-tinted Turkish delight, the richness of dark toffee, the warmth of brown spice, and the lustrous allure of shiny black cherries.
