Curtis Vineyards Heritage Grenache 2021

The rise of Aussie Grenache continues to gather pace. Whether you prefer McLaren Vale or the Barossa hardly matters, we are seeing more and more superb examples of this once neglected variety. This one is from McLaren Vale, and benefits even more as it hails from a superb vintage. Bright crimson hue, the nose is brimming with strawberries, dry herbs, forest floor notes and coffee grinds. Those strawberries though dominate right through to the palate. Very fine tannins here, good length and juicy flavours. Nicely poised too, this has a good four to five years pleasure ahead of it. A lovely fresh, well-crafted Grenache.
