Brash Higgins, Grenache 2021
DESCRIPTION
A Grenache that moonlights as a Pinot Noir? Well that's a first. The Pinot shows up in the bouquet, with its trademark notes of clove, flowers, spices and red berries. On the palate, orange peel and cinammon take the lead. Medium-bodied with dusty tannins, this wine is structured for ageing. This wine pairs nicely with Mediterranean food, grilled meats and/or lasagna.
REGION
McLaren Vale
Australia
The McLaren Vale wine region, located just south of Adelaide, is very highly regarded throughout both Australia and the world. Shiraz leads the region's list of award-winning wines, making McLaren Vale a favorite location to grow this grape. Cabernet Sauvignon is another prominent grape variety, along with Grenache and Mourvedre which, together with Shiraz, make up some of the most acclaimed GSM blends here. Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc dominate McLaren Vale's white grape varieties, with a plethora of other regional and international specialties such as Merlot, Zinfandel, Tempranillo, Sangiovese and Viognier also making their mark.
A Grenache with the character of a Pinot Noir. Aromas of clove and red fruits. The tannins are supple but active. A well-structured wine that wonderfully accompanies grilled foods.
