This 100% Grenache from the Sadie Family exhibits its typical aromas of red cherries and pomegranate fruit, which extend into richer earthy notes on the palate. This vintage presents a slightly darker yet still brilliantly red colour, while the tannins offer a more gentle and approachable texture compared to previous years. The fruit character is notably expressive, and the softened tannins indicate that this vintage achieved full ripeness with its 13% ABV. Although tempting to enjoy now, the wine will develop substantial complexity when allowed to mature in the bottle.
