About this product
Dry, Full Bodied style of GrenacheBarossa Valley, AustraliaAn under-the-radar producer in many senses, the Rocca family owned Estate produces wines of utmost character and intensity. Their straight Grenache overflows with ripe, sweet blackberry fruit, confectionery and hints of licorice of the nose. The palate is warm with spice, hints of licorice and plum notes supported by silky tannins.

The palate is warm with spice, hints of licorice and plum notes supported by silky tannins.
Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

Gob smackingly delicious modern Grenache. Short black, extracted coffee bean darkness, dark plum, grip, acidity, awesome length and depth. Outstanding.

Good colour, expecially for Grenache. A delicious Grenache with raspberry and red cherry fruit on the vibrant, light-to-medium-bodied palate, used French and American oak, was the right call.
