The Heirloom Vineyards Anevo Fortress McLaren Vale Grenache 60% Touriga 25% Tempranillo 15% produced from our best McLaren Vale Vineyards whose clones and viticulture embody the very best in cutting edge but old school viticulture and winemaking. Hand tended vines, whole bunch fermented, basket pressed and matured in French oak barrels for 15 months; 20% new French oak. On paper this ought to be a BIG red wine. It is, and it isn’t. The red varietals that combine herein can make monsterish wines. This example is the road less travelled by. The power shelters rather than strides; the fruit flavours play, rather than march; and the wine’s weight glides rather than sinks. This is a serious wine that has a welcoming attitude.
