Grenache

Barossa Valley, South Australia. Old Vine Grenache is deep red in colour. A very lifted nose displays enticing and evolving aromatics of rose, spice, musk, licorice, malt, clove, raspberry and choc mint. The very inviting aromatics lead to a rich, full-bodied palate. Flavours are ripe, intense, robust and smartly fruit driven displaying unmistakable varietal Grenache character of blackberry, cherry, plum and licorice. Natural tannins are evident adding structure but are extremely fine and well integrated. Very smooth and harmonious a very long finish of fruit purity completes this stylish wine. This distinguished Grenache drinks well now but is ideally suited for serious cellaring...

Rhone Valley, France. Well this is a bold, juicy mass of Grenache. Dark cherry and plum, liquorice, saucy spice, almost a violet perfume too. Full bodied, fleshy and rich with a ripe mass of tannin, while stone and dried herb cinches it in. Finishes long and succulent, with a wisp of smoke in the aftertaste. Still looking young and vigorous, and likely even better in a few years...
