Tasting Notes

  • Colour

    A very attractive crimson red.

  • Aroma

    This wine exhibits the distinct Grenache aromas; concentrated rose petals, ripe red berries and hints of confectionery. The nose is complex with signs of barrel maturation without any obvious oak.

  • Palate

    There are ripe strawberry and raspberry flavours with the warmth of the dry grown Grenache showing long and fine tannins with a lingering finish. There is a savoury dry character that is not aggressive in any way with hints of spice. The wine lingers and has cleansing acidity. This wine reflects the terroir of the area and the characteristics of the Grenache variety.

Reviews and Awards

  • James Halliday

    Remarkably pretty, well-structured, seductive grenache. Fruit is the hero here. Warm ripe raspberry, rose petals, earth and sweet spice with the lightest kiss of musky vanillin. For now or later. Would drink well from a Burgundy glass.
