Winemaker Paul Wilson is at the helm here. The website is lacking detail but perhaps hit their Instagram page to get a sneak peek into the beautiful cellar door and the incredible history behind the property.
To my surprise, two vintages of Grenache are on tasting at the cellar door (2016 and 2017). Better still, you can taste them at room temperature or chilled - clever. Grenache is one of those varieties where a little chill improves its versatility.
From a warm vintage, this is a tense wine. Concentrated berry fruit ensure there's a kick to its delivery. Sitting on the blue fruit spectrum, brown spices are quite pronounced. There's certainly more width with a plusher feel than the 2017. Thumbs up.
Drink to five years.
