Bright cherry red and purple colour. Focused and highly aromatic nose with cherry, redcurrant and subtle notes on hibiscus and earth. Concentrated rich red berry flavours with red licorice, raspberry touches whilst an almost crunchy feel and a touch of spice adds depth of flavour. The tannins are smooth as silk and carry the wine up until a long and well-balanced fruity finish.
Alexander Laing is sourced from a single 100 year old vineyard in Tanunda, which is dry grown and was planted over a century ago. Hand picked to preserve the old vines and ensure they are not damaged and also to ensure fruit purity we insist on hand picking old vine Grenache. The fruit was crushed and destemmed immediately after the being picked in the cool early hours of the morning. Fermentation on skins using a selected yeast type occurred for 8-9 days at 20-25 degrees to maximise colour and flavour extraction. The oak maturation was critical with this wine and we aged individual parcels in differing oak prior to barrel selection and final blending of only the best quality barrels.
94 Point Rated Wine Showcase Magazine
"Some lovely spiciness to the nose and a good rich fruit palate with good length of soft tannins."
