Description

Pale ruby in the glass with a luminous, translucent quality that hints at the light-footed style within. The nose is high-toned and deeply pretty, leading with an ethereal floral perfume that speaks directly to the sandy soils of McLaren Vale, where Grenache finds some of its most lifted and elegant expression. Red cherry, rose petal and a delicate spice note combine to create an arresting and refined aromatic profile. On the palate, the wine is fresh and savoury (rather than rich and jammy), with just-ripe red cherry fruit at its core and a taut, well-defined acid line that carries the wine cleanly to the finish. The tannins are fine and understated, adding shape without weight. This is Grenache at its most graceful, a world away from the overblown, sun-baked interpretations the variety can sometimes produce, and its freshness and structure make it a genuinely versatile companion at the table.
