A bright and vivid expression of Grenache with Doris plum, Christmas cherries and rooibos tea notes. Fruit is chewy and ripe with some toffee apple and redskin notes but lacey tannins add an edge and acidity chimes away to ensure the wine feels dry and structural. This is charming with juicy berries, a terra cotta earth and some cumin and cassia bark spice. Another wine that signals to the world Australia’s love affair with Grenache is ongoing and stronger than ever. Drink with some pulled pork tacos or this will develop further complexity with 2-3 years bottle age.
