The region is held in very high regard for this varietal and boasts some of the oldest vines in Australia. The 2024 Bin 21 release immediately captivates with a bright and alluring perfume of floral notes and exotic spice.

A distinctive minerality immediately strikes the palate, a signature of the terroirs from which this Grenache hails. The acid is crunchy and invigorating, laying the foundation for a blend of red fruits that dance across the palate. Blueberry tart brings a balance of sweetness and acidity. The texture of the palate is notable, with papery tannins, suggesting an elegant and refined structure. These fine tannins contribute to the wine's mouthfeel, providing a satisfying chewiness without overpowering the delicate fruit profile. This wine is a testament to the varietal's potential for both finesse and power, capturing the essence of its origins, offering a tasting experience that is both refreshing and complex.
