Growning Grenache can be difficult to get right. A high tendency to overcrop and a low vigour habit can spell disaster in the vineyard if not managed accordingly. This vineyard is found at the northern end of the region and is located on the band of quite unique and famed Cambrian soil. The variety also benefits from some warm to hot days during the ripening season which Heathcote is well known for.
Lifted blood orange and red candied fruit tones are apparent on the nose. There are also tones of rose hip oil, wild fennel, pencil shaving and vanilla bean. Macerated strawberry completes what is a complex bouquet.
The palate is soft and mouth coating with macerated strawberry, candied raspberry, caramel and blueberry. Floral notes are also present. The finish shows sarsaparilla-like flavour and it is long and silky.
A wine which will reward patience and can be expected to evolve with interest over the next 5 – 7 years from vintage. This wine can be enjoyed with Moroccan spiced slow cooked lamb shoulder and a bed of couscous.
Serve slightly chilled in warmer climates.
