A lustrous ruby red.
Fragrant red liquorice and star anise immediately escape the bottle when opened. The grenache vibrancy is obvious with primary youthfulness a hero element … an instant allure! Blackberry and mulberry fruits develop, berry leafiness ties in seamlessly. Cardamom, fresh fennel and caraway seed provide intrigue once the wine is energetically swirled.
A velvet-like plushness fills the palate. Notes of honey roasted beetroot, glazed carrots, spring roasted vegetables … the palate continues to expand! Exotic thyme, mustard seeds and African spices pepper the palate…. Bright cherry vibrancy and cranberry succulence … the most obvious varietal hallmarks. Pithy tannins focus the palate and oak barely mentioned.
The start of the growing season was approximately one week late, with budburst and shoot growth relatively even across the region. Flowering started in October and lasted approximately one week. Spring and summer were very dry with rainfall well below long term average. The mild “Indian” summer with a lack of extreme heat ensured the fruit could ripen evenly and develop desirable flavours and highly perfumed aromatics, especially favourable conditions for Grenache.
