2020 Grenache

Grenache is a signature grape of both this region and this winery, and rightly holds a special place in our hearts. We use Grenache grapes from a range of different vineyards spread across our windswept, coastal region. Fruit from each vineyard is separately fermented then matured in small batches, before being blended together, resulting in a wine full of concentrated aromatics.

This complex and alluring 2020 Grenache captivates from the first swirl. Notes of fresh raspberry, cranberry and red currant weave with the perfumed scent of musk. Blood orange and cassia bark round out the nose and flow through to the palate.

This wine has a freshness and lift to it, making it the perfect accompaniment to a languid summer evening. Pair this with Vietnamese sugar cane prawn rice paper rolls, full of fresh herbs and served with tangy dipping sauce.

Huon Hooke - The Real Review

Raspberry, nettle and meaty, almost bresaola-like aromas, some development starting to show. Classic grenache bouquet. The wine is very soft and easy on the palate, the tannins light and gentle, all making for a good early drinking grenache. 90 points.

Largely very good wines here. A hot vintage. Full-weighted, albeit, reasonably fresh, transparent and drinking more akin to a warm climate pinot. A bit sweet. The 10% whole-bunch addition and the judicious oak handling (12 mths. seasoned French) can't quite obviate it. Sapid cherry, kirsch, thyme, orange zest and lavender accents. Long, but a bit cloying. Best fixed with a chill. 92 points.
