Alkina Polygon #3 Grenache 2022

There are three polygons that have, since the very early days, looked like they could stand apart as Single Polygon wines. Polygon 3 is 0.274 hectares (ha) and approximately 200 vines.

Polygon 5 comprises two similar parcels of 0.12ha and 0.25ha, a total of 0.37ha. These Polygon 5 sections have deeper soils and well fractured schist with ferric clay (within the fractures).  Polygon 1 was defined in Pedro’s second visit in 2018.

A blend of negroamaro, montepulciano and aglianico from vineyards in Williamstown and Angaston. Those varieties that end in 'o' do all right in the Barossa, right!? Glossy black cherry and blackberry fruits with just the right amount of Italian attitude coming through. Touches of coal dust, amaro, deep layered spice, perhaps some leathery wisps and a distinct, savoury earth feel to the vinous proceedings. Bright line too, which cuts through that dark-fruited swagger and drives the wine onwards across the palate, finishing savoury and graphitey with deep, dark fruit and compact fine tannins.
