Grenache is one of the most widely planted red wine grape varieties in the world. It is typically harvested late in the season when it is fully ripe to display gorgeous rich sweet red fruit characters and soft supple tannins with a generous and supple mouthfeel. But when harvested early in the season a divergent and equally impressive wine can result. Parallax Grenache is picked 2-3 weeks earlier than normal and combined with fermentation on stalks and minimal maturation has resulted in an admirably divergent wine compared to the norm from this variety, showing the versatility of Grenache.
Parallax is light cherry red-mauve in colour. The aroma is impressively compelling. Strawberries, violets, forest floor, rose perfume, rosemary herb and rhubarb are all evident. It is dynamic and evocative. The palate is light-bodied but striking in its purity and generosity. It is juicy with bright berry fruits as well as alluring savoury characters. Extremely well structured, the chalky tannins are evident but intensely fine adding definition and backbone. There is a lovely minerality throughout adding energy and dynamism. A long finish completes a very delicious, charming and engaging wine. Parallax is best enjoyed now or over the next five years.
