Purple Hands Grenache 2022

 

From the clay soils of the southern Barossa, this is a great drink to kick back with. Firm on opening, it's a wine that keeps its cards close to its chest. Give it time and a few swirls to reveal itself and you'll see it at its best - and it's worth that little wait.

Handpicked, 30% whole bunch, eleven days on skins and seeing nine months in seasoned oak.

Baked blueberries, mulberries, raspberries and red plums drive the fruit profile. Shards of dark chocolate can be seen in the mid-palate along with the earthiness that the whole bunches and clay soils deliver. A postage stamp of concentration lands and sticks with some scattered herbs and a fine exotic spice finish. Long with a moreish appeal, this is a great Grenache.

Drink to five years.
