Making a welcome return. From McLaren Vale this is a lovely, full flavoured, bright and extremely drinkable Grenache.
"From 50-year-old vines on the estate Blindspot vineyard, Blewitt Springs. A brilliant garnet in the glass, this is delightfully pure of feel, though with a little more generosity, a lower-gear drive than the single sites. There are some darker fruits, a violet note, iodine, iron, a rounding out of flavour from older oak maturation (70%). There’s drive and tension, too. Redcurrant gel, black cherry, dried hardy herbs, a little anise, with a savouriness to flavour and structure. It’s a fine introduction to the Willunga 100 grenache mission." 93 pts Marcus Ellis Halliday's Wine Companion
A bright aromatic wine showing red cherry fruit, earthy spice and liquorice notes. The palate is generous and laden with red fruits, complemented with cardamom spice and woody herbs, over a supportive frame of fine-grained tannins. A juicy and vibrant wine, it's also an extremely versatile food wine and loves anything cooked over fire.
