Crabtree Estate Watervale Grenache Shiraz 2023

The fruit here is sourced from two estate blocks – the Shiraz from a cooler one and the Grenache from the warmer western block. A dark maroon colour here. The nose exhibits notes of chocolate, black cherries, licorice, soy, blackberries and a hint of mulberries. This is ripe and rich, deeply flavoured. There are fine silky tannins with very good length. Utterly delicious, this is a cracking wine, to be enjoyed over the next six to ten years.
