Tasting Note

Flavour

Luxardo, cherry pits, rhubarb, raspberry, and nutty aromas present as a big truck loaded with flavour and headed for your palate without so much as a warning toot of the horn. Reluctant to describe our Grenache as Pinot-like, this vintage sees us reaching for descriptors that remind us of Pomard: red liquorice, caramelising sugar in a hot pan, and rose water.

Texture

Hits the palate with force and then flexes its tannins like a Venice Beach bodybuilder. It's a big whack of flavour and texture all at once, with an addictive energy that carries past the back palate before revealing a subtle wave of musk flavours - all without losing sight of a medium-bodied focus.

Goes With

The protein is easy, but this match is all about the sauce. Try grilled ribeye or the Mushroom and Haloumi Stack with Pepper Sauce from 'Meatsmith' by Andrew McConnell and Troy Wheeler.

Cellaring

Many, many years of ageing potential, try 20+.
