Secret 95pt 120 Year Old Bush Vine 2021 McLaren Vale Grenache 6 Pack

We tasted this out of barrel back in September and fell in love immediately. Aromas of herbs, blackberries and woodsmoke preceded a palate which was rich, decadent, super long and finished with fine tannins... so we ordered a truckload on the spot and waited for it to be bottled and settle into itself. From Jan onwards you’ll have seen this in quite a few of the packs we’ve been offering and perhaps even enjoyed a bottle or 2. Fair to say there have been a truckload of staffy orders for it over the last coupl’a months too. On 1 March Huon Hooke rated it his equal no #1 McLaren Vale Grenache from 2021 with a score of 95. Huon is a seriously hard marker – for example, his average score for the last 21 vintages of Grange is a tick under 95. This very special Grenache is produced from hand tended McLaren Vale bush vines which are more than 100 years old and retails for $70 a bottle - in this secret offer it will set you back just $22. It offers bright red fruits, along with stick black stuff, smoked meats, blackberries, spice and plenty of fine tannins. It is full bodied and decadent and an absolute joy to drink.
