Description
Adelina Estate, led by Col McBryde and Jen Gardner, is hitting all the right notes with their latest releases. Their elegant, understated packaging, exceptional old vine fruit, and distinctive 'house style' are solidifying their reputation as one of the finest producers in the Clare Valley.
The Grenache exemplifies the 'new wave' of Australian Grenache—fine-boned and high-toned. Sourced from an 80-year-old vineyard on the Adelina property, this Grenache bursts with aromas of fresh strawberries, raspberries, almonds, mint, and a rosy perfume. Freshness and age-worthiness reign supreme here, with a rocky, mineral feel on the finish, this is a bright, perfumed, and individual expression of Clare Valley's terroir. Superb stuff and top of the tree for Grenache in the Clare, no doubt.
Produced in limited quantities, with only 2,304 bottles made. Rated 95+ points by Gary Walsh and 95 points by Erin Larkin, this wine is a superb example of what Grenache can achieve in the hands of skilled winemakers.
