SKU: MMADGRE21
Lovely mild ripening conditions produced Grenache of great intensity. There is a purity and a density, but also a lightness that belies the energy and power of the fruit. The aromatics are intense and perfumed with notes of raspberry coulis, cinnamon and a hint of fennel seed which unfurl in the glass. The grapes were mostly destemmed and fermented as whole berries in open concrete and stainless steel before ageing in used 500 litre puncheons.

”The grenache vines in the MMAD vineyard were planted in 1939. That's quite a year, in world terms, to begin your life. This wine was aged in old oak; no new oak was used. Truly beautiful grenache. Sweet and ripe but savoury and, even, crunchy with it. Best of many worlds. Woodsmoke, herbs, raspberry, cloves and a sweet earth character. The presser mentions pomegranate and it's a good call; it beings that seed-like crunch to the wine. Tannin is ultra fine and the finish is noteworthy. Blewitt Springs is a great place to grow red wine grapes and here, again, it's off and away, in full voice.”
