2018 CRU McLAREN VALE GRENACHE

$28 / 2024

A gentle ruby hue, with orange zest, cherry bon-bon and molten strawberry aromas. Fibrous whole-bunch tannins, beautifully detailed, gently scrub the palate of any excess sweetness. This has a pinosity to it, with a thrust of extract and herbal freshness imparting balance and crunchy length. This address is marked by a consistent and indelible style of fine tannin management, complexity and an easygoing deliciousness. NG 14.1% alc.

What makes this wine ideal for right now?

Our beautiful bush-vine grenache, which is more than 80 years old, has an intense raspberry lift with accompanying plum and spicy notes. The palate is pretty and brooding, rich and textural. It’s perfectly matched with a slow-cooked pork belly on a bed of Asian greens.
