Cape Barren Old Vine McLaren Vale Grenache 2024

Old vine Grenache from regions like McLaren Vale continue to enthral wine lovers. Easy to see why with gems like this. The colour is garnet/pale crimson. On the nose, we have strawberries, dried herbs, warm earth, red fruits, florals, cherries and bay leaves. The wine is fresh, with fine acidity and a sleek texture and tannins. Medium weight and decent length here, this will drink beautifully for at least another half dozen years. Long may the rise of Grenache continue.
