"Delicate, supple and a joy to embrace, this is a fabulous Grenache. If you seek a silky, juicy glass of medium-bodied red, this will more than delight. From 40 and 50 year old vines, in Blewitt Springs and McLaren Flat. Handpicked, they go into to open fermenters with 10% whole bunches. The wine sees six months in seasoned French oak, the result is sleek, smooth and magnificently moreish."
