Alkimi Heathcote Grenache 2020

This 2020 Grenache shows nuanced winemaking including some whole bunch fruit and extended skin contact with quite ethereal aromas of red earth, game, spice and sweet spicy red cherries. It is a fleshy, satisfying expression with a gentle twist of tannin holding up a lingering finish. Delicious now and for a little while.
