Heirloom Vineyards Alcala McLaren Vale Grenache 750ml

Everything is done right here. The oak, too, to make a change. It nestles amidst a spine of edgy whole-bunch tannins, appositely extracted grape skin ones and salty maritime acidity. This echoes the transparent wines of Spain's Gredos, arguably the most exciting newcomer to the grenache patrimony. Kirsch, thyme, mescal and pine, as if this is positioned in a higher site than it is. Thirst-slaking, layered, fresh and riveting. Great gear!
