Kilikanoon Walton 1946 Grenache 2022

This Grenache, from vines planted in 1946 on the hills of Leasingham, remains one of my favourite examples of this variety. It’s been made with very light winemaking influence and is really designed to capture both that sense of place and variety from this vineyard. Medium-bodied, with floral, subtle damp turned earth characters and a hint of ironstone gravel. A little leafy lift adds further to the nose, and that slightly dry savoury finish provides further appeal. An excellent wine for current drinking, but with cellaring potential, as you might expect.
