An Approach to Relaxation Magnolia Grenache 2019

The rise of Grenache continues and this is a great wine to get any latecomers started. It’s an unashamedly ripe and generous version made with old vine fruit but also carries delicious pockets of delicacy that slowly emerge as the wine sits in the glass. Bright mid crimson in colour, there are soaring aromas of red rippers and red liquorice before dried spices, some baked earth and a nice touch of dried herbs emerge – lots to like here. Red and dark berry fruits then coat the mouth supported by what are now resolved tannins before a long and strong finish. This delicious wine is at peak now but don’t be in too big a hurry and enjoy with classic pork ribs.
