A compelling and complex delivery of McLaren Vale Grenache. Its strength is not so much boldness but real poise, showing the “other” side of the grape that more and more drinkers are eager to see and winemakers keen to strive for. Generous in flavour in roasted plum, blackberry, liquorice, clove with a splash of lifted pepper. It is finely delivered with a textural smoothness that is such a big part of the wine’s attraction – it glides. A seamless beauty that can easily be enjoyed now . . . or later.
