ibrant and approachable Rhône-style blend showing lifted aromas of ripe raspberry, red plum and dark cherry layered with hints of spice, dried herbs and subtle vanilla oak. The palate is medium-bodied and generous, delivering juicy red berry fruit, touches of confectionery and savoury spice balanced by silky tannins and fresh acidity. Smooth, rounded and highly drinkable, it finishes with lingering spice and soft texture.

I love the purity and vitality of Grenache, and my approach in the winery is very much around preserving and promoting varietal character, and ensuring the wine is an honest expression of the region and that particular vineyard. Theres lifted fresh maraschino cherry with spicy cinnamon and clove aromas on the nose and the palate is loaded with delicious, juicy, fleshy & succulent Grenache flavours with terrific depth and richness.

Could be rookie of the year!
