Ox Hardy Grenache 2022

"Bush vine grenache from two sites of full maturity, one in Blewitt Springs, the other in McLaren Flat. Lively, juicy and energetic, a wine making a virtue of the variety’s berry-led exuberance. Wild raspberry and subtle spice, some red licorice and dried thyme. A supple, slippery momentum defined by taut acidity and granular tannin." 92 points.  Nick Ryan, The Weekend Australian.

"Delicate, supple and a joy to embrace, this is a fabulous Grenache from Ox Hardy. If you seek a silky, juicy glass or two of a medium-bodied red, this will fill your bucket and then some.  From vines 40+ and 50+ years of age, the fruit is sourced from Blewitt Springs and McLaren Flat. Handpicked, it goes to open fermenters with 10% whole bunches and sees six months in seasoned French oak.

Juicy is definitely the word. It's a playful and silky wine highlighted by red cherries and raspberries. That red fruit dances freely. Ripples of earthiness and an array of woodsy spices drive long and deliver an absolute moreishness. Its sleek and delicate presence seduces another sip time and again. Yes, this will fill your bucket.  Drink to five years.  94/100"  Steve Leszczynski. qwinereviews.com
