A beautifully fragrant bouquet of dark red berry fruits dominated by cherry and strawberry flavours. Just the faintest hint of French oak in perfect harmony is evident
PalateMcLaren Vale is acclaimed widely for producing the best Grenache wines in Australia, and this wine justifies that accolade. Those same red berry fruits which are immediately obvious in the aroma provide swirls of attractive cherry and raspberry purity and harmony. There is no sign of confection characters, just a rewarding long lingering warmth of satisfaction finishing with very fine tannins. The palate has a deceptively richer mouthfeel than the colour would suggest.
