Written Notes

Just 480 cases of this wine made. McLaren Vale grenache is the hot thing at the moment. If you are not sure why, jump on this. From Blewitt Springs in McLaren Vale, the Loulakis vineyard with 80-year-old bush vines. Fermented on skins for 10-12 days and then matured in three-plus year-old large format French oak. 2,880 bottles. 

A slightly deeper crimson red. There is a slightly briary, stalky note evident here – some whole bunch action? Red fruits, raspberries, some gamey notes, tobacco leaf. Lovely texture, good acidity. This is finely balanced and has good length. Finishes with some slightly gritty tannins that are the trademark of the variety. Has a good future. 93.
