Yalumba The Tri Centenary Ancestor Vine Grenache 2021

What an exquisite example of Barossa Grenache. It comes from vines that are now more than 130 years old. Aromas of rhubarb, sage and subtle lavender with other spicy leather nuances. The palate is sublime with its smooth and effortlessly graceful lines. Traces of delicious Cherry Ripe with other red fruit nuances plus a fine spine of tannin and integrated oak. And it has poise and presence.
