A highly awarded Grenache from Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale, possibly the best terroir for the varietal in Australia. Its gnarly old bush vines were planted in 1946. It is dry farmed on a 1.7 hectare block sitting on the deepest sand with the lowest vigour and yield. Not as raspberry as many Australian Grenache - more balanced, restrained and excellent. Wine of the Year at the 2020 Halliday Wine Awards receiving 99 points. On the medium weight palate red berries and cherry finishing with ultra fine tannins. Jancis made the comment, “Might give the odd cult Spanish wine a run for its money too.”

This wine displays classic Grenache aromas and flavors of black cherry, black raspberry, cola, red plums, and blackberry along with hints of vanilla, white pepper, and roses. This powerful wine has fine-grained tannins, intense fruit components and a very complex finish. It has beautifully rich color, soft acids, smooth tannins, dense black fruit components,and a long-textured finish. It is a very small production wine so get it when you can find it! $100
