”Whole-bunch grenache from Vine Vale, aged for 8 months in old French oak hogsheads. A wonderful, bunchy grenache that ticks all the boxes. Red fruited and fragrant with a deep seam of souk-like spice and gingerbread, notes of macerated raspberry and strawberry, a splash of soy, dried herbs, pressed flowers and lighter meaty tones. Medium bodied with a pure, savoury fruit flow that makes the wine seem very comfortable in its own skin. Balanced tannins and on-point acidity provide structure and cadence. Effortless drinking.”
