Origin: McLaren Vale, Australia

Varietal: Grenache

Producer's Notes: A very pure expression of Grenache. Produced from 72 year old dry grown bush vines on the Blewitt Springs ridge ? tiny berries and a miniscule yield. A fragrant thread of wild herbs, fennel seed and charcuterie is underpinned with raspberry, violets and Asiatic spice. The taut nervous tension of compact red currents and Satsuma plum fills the mid palate with mouth?watering red berry intensity. Finely grained tannins position this svelte, fleshy, and measured weight of forest cherries and persimmon into a long succulent and savoury finish.
