Winery notes, 2023 Vintage
"Striking red fruits open to star anise, dried herbs and soft rose petal. A touch of warm candle wax and white strawberry compote add a little opulence to the Grenache archetype. A depth of umami (savoury) flavour and warm spices are enveloped in creamy red fruits. Fine, green tea-like tannin add direction and presence to the palate."
Rated 93/100, Ned Goodwin MW, JamesSuckling.com, March 2024 (2023 Vintage)
“Very good, medium-bodied grenache, suggestive of a cooler, attenuated La Niña vintage. The tannins are long and refined, accentuated by a lower pH. Notes of Damson plums, rich strawberries, shrubs, licorice root and dried thyme. The finish is impressively persistent and refined. Excellent drinking.”
Rated 93/100, Tyson Stelzer, Top 250 Australian Wines of 2024, October 2024 (2023 Vintage)
“A delightful and bright grenache that captures the mood of this cool season in tangy raspberry fruits accented with all of grenache’s hallmark distinctiveness in rhubarb and dried herbs. Fine, saline tannins characterise McLaren Vale. Classy.”
