Not far from the McLaren Vale township lies a vineyard of old, dry-grown Grenache that we’ve long admired. We source a tiny parcel of terrific fruit from these old warriors. To this backbone we add three small parcels from vineyards in Kangarilla, Blewitt Springs, Onkaparinga Hills. Grenache from these higher elevation parts of the valley deliver fragrance and pretty aromatics.

Grenache is a hero variety for McLaren Vale and is experiencing a renaissance. With a unique affinity between variety and place, when carefully grown and gently handled McLaren Vale Grenache has the capacity to make beautiful, expressive wines.

In our Grenache we search for indian spice (cloves, cumin and star anise), fragrance and pretty aromatics. We love Grenache’s clarity of fruit. It’s no shrinking violet though, and has the capacity to age beautifully.

The Real Review, 2021 Grenache, 96 pts

RATING: 96 pts / 5 stars
Ranked #2 of 70
2021 Grenache from McLaren Vale

Deep ruby at the core, building to a purple rim. An alluring aromatic profile of ripe red cherry, cinnamon, amaro herbs and smoky meats. The palate fills with purpose and clarity, red fruits, meat, smoke, and herbal notes all meld to a glorious harmony whilst a fine tannin profile ensures it remains controlled to the long and dry finish. Fantastic now but will reward patience in the cellar.
