Bondar 'Higher Springs' Grenache 2022

Not a low rider then. This is from Blewitt Springs, from the Trott Vineyard.

Cherry, raspberry, almond, dried roses and thyme, with quite some spice and a little cedar. It's medium-bodied, cherry and dried herb, a little blood orange in the mix, tannin is firm with a light graininess and grip, with a sappy freshness, and a dry pumice stone tannin finish of excellent length, some orange peel in the aftertaste. It has a good volume of fruit, yet its pretty savoury in style too, with an amaro twist. More to come, I expect. 94+ points, drink 2025-2033+, Gary Walsh, Wine Front.
