"Love the texture and feel of it, house style if you will, though the flavour profile is a little different to prior vintages. Good."
- Gary Walsh (The Wine Front)
Another glorious, light-footed Grenache release from Glenn Barry, crafted from fruit grown on a 90-year-old vineyard in the hallowed Blewitt Springs sub-region of McLaren Vale.
The fruit is picked early precisely to maintain the beguiling floral aromatics that represent the modern Grenache stylings of the region. This is manhandled as little as possible on its way to bottle. A small amount of whole bunch in the ferment, only a gentle racking before bottling with a dash of sulphur. What you get is the very essence of McLaren Vale Grenache; brightly fruited, impossibly drinkable and more-ish to the last glass.
If you've never tried the tantalising wines styles from Tonic, or never had a modern style of Grenache that has blown your socks off, there is no better way you could spend under $40 on a bottle of wine.
"It's bright and crunchy throughout and very long in flavour. Good stuff."
- Glenn Barry (Tonic Wines)
