This is the second release of the Single Vineyard Grenache from Penny's Hill and it is everything as brilliant as the 2023 debut.
From 76 year old dry grown bush vines in Blewitt Springs with an elevation of 136 metres, the vines sink their feet into deep sand. Handpicked and made with 25% whole bunches, it sees 7 months in seasoned French oak.
Fabulously fragrant, an array of red cherries, squishy raspberries and strawberries is met by dried red rose petals and violets. Silky and svelte, red currants slide in with a cheeky Wagon Wheel presence - that chocolate and raspberry interplay is elite. Dangerously seductive fine spices wrap themselves around this neat parcel of delish with a moreish and elongated finish adding to its attractive persona. I absolutely love the cut of its jib - it's hard not to. Superb stuff!
Drink to eight years.
