"There's a lot of wine here for your dollar. Notwithstanding the Grenache comes from 100-year-old vines. It's a medium-weight and tannin-shaped red with understated red berry fruitiness, sweet spice lift, a floral, almost rose petal kind of character and refreshing blood orange acidity. It's even, flows beautifully, dials in some game meat flavours and finishes long and with a building pucker. All the while it is generous and fresh. This is really well done. A beauty." - Mike Bennie
