From old bush vines in the comparatively high altitude subregion of Clarendon and made by one of McLaren Vale's most celebrated longtime winemakers, Steve Pannell, this Grenache takes some swirling in the glass to open up. But when it does, a noseful of bright red berry fruit, fresh flowers and white pepper aromas come rushing to the fore, backed by an earthy, mineral spine. The palate is fine and focused, a distinctive line of chalky tannins reining in the crunchy fruit. A bright, fresh wine that reflects its relatively cool climate. Drink through 2026.
