Pumped to receive Varney Wines Limited Release Grenache 2024 - we haven't cracked a bottle yet so I'll differ to Halliday notes for this post - which I must say sounds super tasty! "Blewitt Springs, Seaview and Whites Valley, with all vines north of 70 years; some bunch, some full carbonic, all native ferments, then nine months in seasoned oak. This was picked on the early-ish side, yet the swell of fruit flavour is effusive. And in the best sense. Itās a wine that lures you in, seductive with its sultry florals and dark red and black fruits. Itās savoury, too, detailed with fine Medina spices and dried Mediterranean herbs. This is perhaps the finest Grenache I have tasted from this address, the three district parcels making up an effortlessly complex whole. Superb." 96 Points, Gold!
