Magenta with a bright ruby hue. A perennial favourite, Grenache from old vines shows its ability to exhibit lifted florals, juicy red fruit characters such as red cherry, red currant along with red plum and secondary notes of white pepper. The addition of Rhone varietals Counoise and Carignan add a savoury and spicy complexity. Mataro adds aromas of beef jerky and Chinese five spice. The palate exhibits a medium-bodied texture with long acidity balancing a fruit freshness around a slightly spicier and fragrant frame than previous vintages. Serve with an array of cuisines including spicy Asian or Mexican dishes at or below 14C/58F. Enjoy from release -7 years.
