The Grenache for this wine was sourced from 90+ year old bush vines on the loamy soils of McMurtrie Rd, and the combination of these vineyard characteristics have a direct impact on the fragrant aromas, red fruit flavours and elegant tannin profile of the resulting wine.
Bright cherry red. Perfumed and herbal lift with aromas of raspberry and red cherry, biscuits and pastry then hints of anise, cinnamon and nutmeg.
A bright crisp palate dominated by raspberries and red cherries leads into plums and strawberries on the mid palate. The wine has been judiciously oaked and the crisp acidity adds vibrancy and focus. The focused, structural and volume tannins provide both balance and length contributing to an approachable and fresh wine style.
While crafted for immediate appeal, this wine will mature well with at least 5-12 years cellaring.
