Dave Brookes - Halliday's Wine Companion

Grapes sourced from the 90-year-old grenache vines from Kevin Schild's vineyard in Vine Vale. Super crunchy and high-toned in the glass with characters of raspberry, juicy plum and cranberry fruits cut with exotic ginger spice, amaro herbs, dried citrus rind, gingerbread, cola and earth. Light on its feet with a minerally cadence, some light meaty tones on the palate, silty tannins and a whole lot of drinking enjoyment."
