fruit very early to beat the heat and secured stunning, evenly ripened fruit with clean, restrained acids."
This 2019 has been released before the 2017 and 2018. Sitting in the spot within the portfolio where the Grenache normally would (2019 Grenache sold out, none made in 2020).
Initially bright perfume of cherry on initial pour, settles nicely into more familiar plum and typical black fruit profile.
The palate shows every inch of its early picking, light and bright with a tangy acid profile across the palate and through the finish.
A delicious lick of spice curls across the back palate, delivering length to boot. Do not underestimate its lower alcohol profile, the freshness makes this a marvellous supping wine for consumption in youth. 91
