Little Giant Grenache 2023

Juicy and fresh of fruit, this leans gently into the variety’s potential for lifted confectionary notes. And that’s likely the intent at this modest tariff, giving immediate pleasure for a wine often opened just after being bought. Raspberry jelly, red licorice, macerated cherries, a little spice – recalling a clove studded orange – and savouriness adding detail. It’s sweet fruited, but the tannic profile is considered and up to the task. 89 points, drink from 2024,Marcus Ellis, Halliday Companion.
