Description
A Grenache Shiraz blend comprising 60% Marmont Vineyard Grenache, 40% Springs Hill Vineyard Shiraz. A combination of varieties that is quintessentially McLaren Vale, an homage to past employers who have proudly championed blends of Grenache and Shiraz for decades.
Darker expression from the 2022 vintage with green and black pepper/Chinese spice and a juicy raspberry core from the Grenache. There’s a touch of road tar and anise leading to darker primary fruit aromas. Quite a savoury fruit profile through the palate with a lovely chisel of medium weight tannins. A tighter version of the Grenache Shiraz highlighting the cooler growing season. Most importantly it is absolutely delicious to drink and should continue evolving over the next few years in bottle.
