Description
"Whilst Shiraz may have played a leading role in John Duval’s winemaking career, he has long admired the qualities of Barossa Grenache. Through long term relationships with local grape growing families, we are able to source Grenache from a priceless resource of old vineyards to contribute to our Plexus red blend. In the very best years, parcels of the most exceptional wines are reserved for Annexus Grenache, with the intention of showcasing the best Grenache from an exceptional vintage, sourced from old and ancestor Barossa vines. Aromas of bright and juicy red cherry, raspberry, and floral top notes with a core of savoury spice & earthen notes. On the palate, generous layers of elegant red fruits, plenty of savoury earthy spice with round and juicy tannins." - Winemaker Notes
"A heady nose of raspberries, vanilla and maraschino cherries excites. Its wafty notes hypnotise. With air, blackberries, dark chocolate and raspberry licorice aromas arise. The palate is viscous and lush, a stream of spice and red berries unleashes, tempered by some sappy rosemary accents. Structure is there in the form of chewy tannins: there are a lot of savoury tannins suggesting some oak influence. The oak marries well with the boldness of the fruit’s expression and ensures it will age very well. I would love to see this develop more tertiary tones. It’s got great potential." - 95 Points, Gabrielle Poy, The Real Review
