This is a mighty good Grenache sourced from McLaren Vale. The colour is immediately bright with red and crimson hues. The nose releases a wild mix of rose petals, cherry and a slightly dusty earthiness. The palate lifts with a subtle spice weave through the red fruits. The tannins are fine and chalky, and the oak is deliberately underplayed, so this is a beautiful expression of the fruit that is Grenache.
