DESCRIPTION
Torbreck Hillside Vineyard Grenache 2021 originates from the single Hillside vineyard, the southernmost in the Barossa Valley, situated on gentle, west-facing slopes. The soil primarily consists of deep red clay interspersed with schist, quartzite, and ironstone. These dry-grown bush vines consistently yield low crops and produce exceptional fruit. 100% Grenache, aged for 18 months in French oak foudres. It features 15% alcohol, pH 3.52, and 5.38 g/L total acidity. Cellaring potential of 10 to 12 years.
On the nose, it reveals lifted red fruits such as redcurrant and cherry with spicy notes. On the palate, it is rich with a lingering acidity that harmonizes perfectly with tight, long, and elegant tannins. Pairs beautifully with an herb-roasted turkey or sautéed mushrooms.
