The ‘Edith’ Rose was sourced from four rows of Grenache which is only grown for Rose. The wine was whole cluster pressed prior to bottling and the wine is kept for another year due to the wine being unfiltered. The wine was aged in both concrete eggs and stainless steel prior to bottling. The nose is very perfumed and shows pretty red rose, wild strawberry with shades of wild mushroom and orange rind that all mingle nicely in the glass. The texture here is silky smooth as the wine seamlessly glides across the mid-palate. Bright guava and strawberry flavors mingle with wonderful peat moss, wet stone and melon tones all fill the palate. This is Grenache Rose at its finest. Drink 2020-2025- 93 — 13 days ago

Amazingly limpid light in the glass. Crushable, Low ABV...silky smooth, chillable, amazing boysenberry fruit with enough tannin/acid to make the wine dance. This is a gateway wine...amateurs and geeks alike will find something to love here! — 11 days ago

Purple red, very good clarity, moderately extracted pigment. Spearmint, thyme and raspberry notes in nose. Raspberry, cola flavors, tangerine peel finish. Nice acidity, medium body, slight seed bitterness in aftertaste. Needs a little time to integrate after opening. Moderate skin astringency emerges after 30 minutes. 24 hours later, boom, cherry and plum flavors with depth. Super wine if you can decant it long enough, impressive varietal character — 14 days ago

Am always impressed by the intensity of flavors and long finish. You can tell it’s not over extracted by the bright color so that’s not where the intensity comes from. Lush red berries followed by some spicy notes with a touch of mocha on the finish. I always try to get my hands on some if I can find some. — 15 days ago

Wow. I would have blinded this as Syrah. So damn good. Olive , smoke ,and fruit pie on the nose. Deep macerated raspberries with olive tapenade on the palate. Rich mouthfeel, long finish make this another exciting pax wine. Love this. — 5 days ago

Super sensual and exciting Grenache. 140yrs old own rooted Grenache from sandy soils, from the Vine Vale Barossa Valley. Made like Rayas, so pure, clean, delicate but with a lovely old Vine Grenache punch! — 3 days ago

Previous bottle was only 10 days ago, fresh on delivery of a mixed dozen direct from Spinifex - and I gave it 92. This time giving it 94 - sour cherry more subdued and fleshy raspberry a bit more forward - much better balance and into delicious territory. What happened? Is it mood? Or was the previous bottle drunk too soon on delivery (is there such a thing as bottle shock on young wine?), or is it bottle variation? I think both were drunk with a similar amount of airtime. In any case, lovely Grenache. — 17 days ago
