DESCRIPTION
MMAD Vineyard Grenache 2022 comes from historic old vines in Blewitt Springs, planted on Maslin sands and ironstone pebbles that bring fragrance, energy, and structure to the wine. The cool and late 2022 vintage was marked by low yields and an ideal end to the season, with warmer temperatures approaching harvest. Vinified with around 15% whole bunches, then aged in concrete and large, old French oak vessels. It features 14% ABV and 5.1 g/L total acidity. Aging potential of 15 years.
On the nose, it offers a generous and precise red fruit character, dominated by ripe red cherry and raspberry, with a spicy and floral touch. On the palate, it is ample and energetic, with an opulent entry followed by firm, grainy tannins that structure a remarkably long finish. Pairs well with a Provençal ratatouille or a roasted veal chop with candied carrots.
REGION
McLaren Vale
Australia
The McLaren Vale wine region, just south of Adelaide, is highly regarded in Australia and around the world. Shiraz tops the list of the region's award winning wines, making McLaren Vale a favourite place to grow this grape. Cabernet Sauvignon is another key variety, along with Grenache and Mourvèdre, which together with Shiraz make some of the most acclaimed GSM blends in the region. Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc lead the white grapes of McLaren Vale, with a wealth of other regional and international specialities such as Merlot, Zinfandel, Tempranillo, Sangiovese and Viognier also making their mark.
