Yalumba The Tri Centenary Grenache 2022

This sees 372 days of post-fermentation maceration which plays a large role in what is a wonderfully pure and lifted wine with excellent depth and savoury complexity. Lovely pale ruby colour with defined aromas of macerated strawberry, cranberry, plum skin, cherry cola, white pepper spice, and subtle prosciutto meatiness. Some dried herbs and rosehip with air. The melding of red fruits and savouriness makes for a Grenache of freshness and complexity in equal measure. The palate is lifted and cooling, suave and elegant with a spine of chalky fine tannins and fresh red-fruited acidity providing carry for the red fruits and spice notes. With seemingly endless length here, this is a wine of fine boned elegance, intensity, poise, and complexity. Bravo.
