Country: Australia / The Derelict Vineyard
Variety: Grenache South Australia
Winery: D’Arenberg / McLaren Vale
The d’Arenberg style favors structure over plushness, even in Grenache. This is crisp and firm, its cranberryish fruit tinged with hints of raspberry, orange zest, cinnamon and clove. Give it a few years to soften. Drink 2020–2030.
