Clarendon Hills Onkaparinga Grenache 2022
This hails from a bush vine, single vineyard in the upper reaches of Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale. The vines are nearly 80 years old being planted in the mid 1940’s. The site is extremely low yielding and highly concentrated. Richly layered and deeply flavoured, the single vineyard expression reveals notes of confectionary like Turkish delight and musk coupled with delicately floral violet and rose petal while layers of fine blueberry, raspberry and cherry skin intertwine with ethereally light and effortless incense and crushed rock mineral notes. Harmoniously balanced and effortlessly powerful, the supple tannins are already soft enough to open up and enjoy today.
Cherry, raspberry, violet and lavender, a nutty praline richness, roast beef and hazelnuts, aniseed perfume adds to the riot. It's medium-bodied, yet powerful, with plenty of crushed rock/sandstone tannin, dried rose and raspberry, and a lavish ripe red fruited finish packed with tannin, and, despite its richness, it offers surprising freshness and vigour. Outstanding. 96 points Gary Walsh
