TASTING NOTES
Aromas of glacé cherries, juniper, and spiced rhubarb. Light upon entry, then building to concentrated red fruits and crunchy tannins due to the extended skin contact time. An earthiness from the ancient soils it was grown in, which is enhanced by extended lees and skin contact time. Softened and framed by judiciously used new French oak.
WINEMAKING NOTES
Hand-harvested | 20% whole-bunch fermentation | 48 days extended maceration | 12 months in French oak | 1200 bottles made
REVIEWS
96 points, Sam Kim, Wine Orbit
"Gorgeously complex and engaging, the bouquet shows sweet plum, raspberry, dried herb, game and toasted almond characters, followed by a concentrated palate delivering plush texture and expansive mouthfeel. Tannins are ultra-fine and beautifully layered, making it structured yet velvety and flowing".
94+ points, Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
“An instantly appealing wine as soon as you poke your nose into the glass. The grenache here is from the Barossa Valley's south in Altona and the aromas that strike first are bright raspberry, strawberries and juicy plum fruits. There's daubs of exotic spice, amaro herbs (20% whole bunch), dried citrus rinds, gingerbread, purple florals and stone. It's got crunch and a juiciness that is infectious and makes real easy drinking with sleek, pure fruits, powdery tannins and a vivid minerality.”
