Robert Oatley Finisterre McLaren Vale Grenache 2022

Comes from the fabulous Blewitt Springs subregion of McLaren Vale from vines with an average age of 80 years. It’s been treated with kid gloves and after hand picking it saw only five months in large older format French oak. So you are getting a pure expression of all that is good with Grenache from this special region. So bright and energetic with a floral spiciness that is just so engaging.
