Bethany is where Jason Schwarz's heart is and the fruit for this Grenache comes from the family's vineyard on Thiele Road. Planted in 1941, there is some impressive history staring at you from the glass. As with previous releases, this is dense and savoury. A Grenache to pour, chat deep and ponder. Classy stuff.
Red berries and mulberries skip about eager to get your affection. And they do. The mouth is consumed by depth with dark cherry and Ribena cameos. Some star anise, baking spices and a subtle pan juice presence keep this digging deeper. Waves of spices roll on to a persistent and moreish finish. Yep, this is a class act.
