Otro Vino Swan Valley Grenache 2024

Share

A pleasure-seeking kind of Grenache with that plummy carbonic maceration quality that spells immediate drinking enjoyment. It’s lively and youthful, jubey and a touch sweet fruited but good, simple fun in the glass. This is not a wine to contemplate, it’s there for a good time in black plum, plenty of cherry and blue fruits, confection and musk notes with spice aplenty. Arrives and finishes warm, round and bouncy.
