About this product
Dry, Light Bodied style of GrenacheMcLaren Vale, AustraliaThese grapes are harvested from a selected vineyard of vines that are 70+ years old. Aromas and flavours of blackcurrant jubes, berry fruit, cherries, earth and spice abound on the nose and palate. Older oak hogsheads were used for gentle maturation so as to allow the natural fruit flavour and aromas to develop. Enjoy now or cellar for 7-10 years.

Light, clear colour; the fragrant spice and red fruit bouquet leads into a light-bodied but similarly fresh palate, with clearly defined varietal character; the ultimate challenge for '11 surmounted here.
