The light ruby-red colour already denotes a lighter style of wine. On the nose, spiced cinnamon, leather, and savory cherries all build on a base of red fruit. The palate is concentrated, following the nose with red fruit and rich texture, all underpinned with an integrated acidity serving to add to the wine’s balance and poise. The structure is bolder than previous vintages but elegant and soft with a lengthy mineral finish adding to the wine’s complexity.
Evolution after 5 years
Grenache is known for showing ageing characteristics at an early stage, with the wine turning a brickish brown colour. The nose will show savoury fruit notes, as the subtle baking spice character starts to take center stage. The palate will soften, with the vibrant acidity integrating further into the wine as the balance continues to shine with the wine’s lengthy mineral finish.
Grenache’s versatility is a key factor in its popularity, appeasing all palates no matter the season. This wine excels in its ability to pair well with a wide variety of dishes, including roasted meats, fragrant stews, and Asian flavours, showcasing its exceptional complexity and impressive capacity to harmonise with these intricate and rich tastes.
