About this wine
James Erskine's classic McLaren Vale Grenache, made with zero sulphur and absolute minimal intervention, wild, smoky, perfumed, and a little bit effervescent, with spiced berries and a long earthy finish that captures everything that makes South Australian Grenache so compelling.
Serve at 14 to 16°C or slightly chilled at 12°C for maximum freshness.
Tasting notes
Wild, smoky berries on the nose with a highly perfumed, spiced character. Mild tannins and a long finish. A tiny natural effervescence lifts the richer, earthier notes and keeps everything fresh. The fruit-bomb descriptor is accurate but undersells it. There is real complexity here from old vines and a winemaker who trusts his fruit completely.
Goes with
Grilled meats, lamb, charcuterie, aged cheeses, and hearty vegetable dishes. Also excellent slightly chilled on a warm day.
