Adelina Grenache 2018

Adelina's Grenache--an ode to Emmanuel Reynaud's legendary Château Rayas--is sourced from an Estate-owned, old-vine 2-acre parcel planted in 1942 on dessicated grey loams. Otherwise known as the Sp ringvale block, or  Block 2, it's also just a stone's throw away from the iconic Wendouree vineyard.

"It's not a great way to start a review of grenache, but it fits: distinct 'pinosity' here. Light, lithe, fine and svelte. Gossamer web of pomegranate, light spice, rose hip tea character. Fine tannins stretch from mid palate through to a fan of light chew. It's really pretty, but also shows some assertive nature too. Bitter in that totally pleasing way. This is superb. Understated yet has so much to say." 95 points, Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
