This goes deep. Very deep. A Grenache grown on Survivor Vines (70 years+) in the Vine Vale sands, it offers plenty to consider. Want a Grenache with personality? Go here.
The final blend consists of 36% whole bunches and those savoury characters rise up late. Early on it's all mulberries, cranberries, sour cherries and blueberry fruits that are soft and luscious. There is a flash of grape bubblegum too. Over a couple of days of tasting that sour cherry really stakes its claim. Fine spices weave and swerve before straightening with a cheeky cameo of soy and oyster sauce. The more air it breathes the more the earthiness shines and is highlighted by a dusty road trait. Yelland & Papps wines are always considered and interesting - this is a cracker once more.
