Willunga 100 Grenache 2023

There's great value on the table here. With the fruit cost of grenache rising quickly, perhaps soon it will only be estate-grown wines like this that will be able to maintain the modest price of entry, we shall see. Redcurrant jelly, bergamot, raspberry leaf tea, preserved cherries, dried orange peel and white pepper; there's a coolness from the vintage, but it's picked properly ripe, with the sandy soils gifting lilting fragrance underpinned with a rocky, iron-like minerality, tannins finely emphatic, acidity brisk. This will be singing on release. 93 points, drink 2024-2030, Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Companion.
