Oak

Colour

Bright magenta.

Nose

The nose shows spicy red berry fruit with underlying gravelly, loamy characters.

Palate

The palate is vibrant, revealing cherries and five spice, but as the wine opens in the glass these develop into darker, wild fruits which dance across the mid-palate. The finish is long with a touch of toasty, soft oak tannin.

Background

The #1 Grenache was sourced from a treasured site where 93 year-old drygrown bush vines sit 150m above sea level in the small hilly township of Clarendon, McLaren Vale in South Australia. McLaren Vale lends itself uniquely to Grenache with its maritime climate, and the hot dry summers on loamy soils create the best growing conditions for this varietal.
