Wine Description
The 2020 Barossa Grenache is crafted in a ‘joven’ style – a red wine released young and without any oak maturation. The Grenache was vinified through the historic 1888 Gravity Cellar – which is highly regarded for its small batch format and gentle maceration. Built into the hillside on a series of terraces, gravity guides the flow of fruit down through the winery to deliver gentle extraction of colour, flavour and tannin.
This vibrant wines has a deeply fruited mid palate with flavours of raspberry, cranberry, red cherry and complex notes of dark chocolate, complemented with fine cocoa tannins. Enjoy now or over the next 5 years.
