TASTING NOTE: This 100% Grenache is sourced from 100-year-old vines and is unoaked to allow the old-vine fruit full rein. It offers the classic roasted fruit note that is so distinctly Barossa, along with cherry, leather and spice. A great wine at a great price. Pair with roast meats. (Vintages panel, June 2019) |
