Deep purple hue with a brick red tint. Jubey Grenache aromatics dominate the nose with a hint of liquorice and Turkish delight. Deeper, dark mocha nuance with raspberry like Shiraz notes on the nose. Whilst medium bodied in style, the Grenache displays exceptional weight and poise with firm and young tannins starting to resolve into regional complexity. Lovely acidity and mouth puckering after taste.
These wines show the finer strengths of our vineyards with emphasis on freshness and fruit flavours with complexity derived from modern winemaking techniques. Old vine Grenache is used at 60% of the blend for the primary fruitiness and comes from older vines. The Shiraz is 40% and adds depth and grunt to the palate. Clarence Hill Wines made are elegant and capture classic varietal notes - they are 'Naturally Blessed Vineyards. 2013 was marked by low yields and strong fruit characters as the result of a very compressed vintage period.

90 Point Rated Mike Beanie Wine Business Magazine
"Adelaide Winemakers are responsible for this wine and it really impressed when the blind tasting revealed its RRP sits around $18. There's a concentration of flavour, a satisfying gentle sweetness to fruit, mouthfilling texture and a lick of spice through the finish. Great drink."
James Halliday Wine Companion
"Sourced from the extensive vineyard holdings of Adelaide Winemakers, the percentage contribution of each variety not specified. The colour is bright and clear, the palate abounding with juicy red fruits, and just enough tannin background."
Huon Hooke
"Deep, glowing, youthful, purple/red colour. Spiced plum aromas, black fruits too, and the wine is medium to full-bodied and drying on the finish, with grainy tannins. Some bitter peel and black pepper notes in the firm tannin grip on the aftertaste. Very good value. "
4.5 Stars Winestate Magazine
"Very attractive stylish blend. Bright, fresh blueberry, mocha and spicy nose. Excellent palate weight with great cherry/berry flavours; soft tannins in support."
