Crawford River Cabernets 2017 Grenache

Crawford River Cabernets 2017 GrenacheJuicy Mulberry and crunchy cherry are the frontrunners here, together with underlying cassia bark and spice. Seamless integration of soft tannin and fruit, with a taut line of acidity pulling it all together beautifully. While the underlying savoury elements typical of our vineyard shine, they are encased in a medium frame with ripe fruit underpinning the lingering palate. Absolutely delicious drinking.

In a deeply traditional region

with notes of green apple

but has decades and decades of life still ahead of it

A dark mahogany coloured wine with a deep bouquet of raisins

Pair with roast duck

Well rounded and full mouth-feel that gently slips into a lightly hoppy character

peppery fruits as well as garrigue

notes of vibrant grapefruit and luscious mango interplay with the allure of wood smoke
