Description
Single vineyard Grenache from Blewitt Springs in McLaren Vale from the outstanding 2018 vintage, that is at both cellarworthy and powerful, and delicate and weightless.
The 97 Point Wine Front review sums the wine up beautifully - it's an ethereal McLaren Vale Grenache, which is a sentence no-one could have written twenty years ago.
Very limited stock, as you can imagine.
97 Points
"First and foremost, it's a wine that's defined by its ultra-mineral quality and quartz-like tannin. In with that, you have ripe red berries, seductive potpourri perfume, peanuts, a little biscuit and baking spice, along with some sage and aniseed. It's medium-bodied, fresh, but firm and packed with stony/chalky tannin, ample fruit, though nothing sweet or overt. Finish is long, dry and firm, almost a Barolo-like quality to it (which is no bad thing, of course). It feels like a long-term wine, and should probably be left alone for a year or two, at least. I'd say it's a benchmark for Grenache."
