Tenafeate Creek Grenache 2024

From a single, low-yielding vineyard, this time the Northern One Tree Hill Vineyard, the age of the vines here is thirty-five years. The vineyard sees no irrigation. The team include 20% whole bunches in the fermentation, and the wine spends twelve months maturing in stainless steel. It does not see any oak. Cherry red in colour, with a crimson rim, the nose offers notes of raspberries, florals, plums, dried herbs, red fruits, bay leaves, cold tea and Moroccan spices. Lifted aromas throughout, the wine is of medium length with a gentle fade to soft tannins. There is a flick of bitter almond evident on the finish tying things together, along with hints of aniseed. It will provide enjoyment over the next six to eight years. Offers decent value.
