A very expressive nose with aromas of raspberries, wild strawberries, plums, violets,cinnamon and peppery notes. On the mouthfeel, medium bodied and bursting with bright flavours, silky tannins and fresh acidity. The finish is long, the alcohol is more noticeable at this stage with lots of spicy red fruit flavours lingering.

When attending a wine trade tasting, it’s normal that after a three hour tasting some wines are going to stand out. Like this Grenache, my favourite of the reds during an afternoon with the IVSA. A beautiful ruby red colour but the star 🌟 is the incredible aromatics, talk about a bright and lively wine, the mouthfeel is very flavourful. It’s not shocking to see a Grenache at 15% alcohol that is still balanced. There is so much going on and the acidity gives it a nice lift. As for serving temperature, too warm and the alcohol seems higher but slightly chilled it’s beautiful. The red fruit comes alive and alcohol is not as noticeable. Perfect temperature? Around 16 C 🙂 Cheers my wine friends 🍷
