Alkina Kin Grenache 2024

Share

From three estate vineyards, handpicked, sorted and naturally fermented in concrete tulips with 80% whole bunches. Soaring aromatics of rose petal, blood orange, maraschino cherry, clove-studded orange and nutmeg hover over cranberry and warm sand earth. The palate mirrors that lift, with cranberry, red rose and Bing cherry, a bite of blood orange zest, and firm, chalky tannins adding shape and grounding the brightness. All vim and vigour, with structural poise.
