Bulman Glen's Vinyard Grenache Dry Red Wine 2023

Vineyard established in 1857. Thin loam over a substrate of red-brown clay covering sandstone with gold bearing quartz veins. Micaceous schist fragments scattered throughout. 390m Altitude. In the rain shadow of the Mount Lofty ranges on a plateau looking easterly over the Murray Mallee. Glen Monaghan grew the Grenache for the 2023 Vintage.

"Blood orange and freshly cut rhubarb. Whole bunch and carbonic contributions immediately differentiate Glen from Gary. Late summer afternoon negronis, stirred with a rusty spoon. Again, there’s nervous tension within the wine. It’s tucked within the flow of ferrous notes and amaro. Fruit flavours are uncharacteristically (for the Barossa) circumspect. Layers of green cardamon pod, dried vanilla bean, white pepper, tiny wild Baltic strawberries, arugula and concrete dust weave their way through the vinous counterpoint. Sensual fine tannins assert themselves as the wine opens up, building in persistence and indicating a structure that will enjoy a decade of cellaring." – Grant Dickson
