MMAD, Grenache 2021
DESCRIPTION
This is the first vintage for the MMAD team and it's a great one. A lovely growing season enabled the grapes to ripen to perfection, producing an intense Grenache with a juicy palate of red and blue fruits. Aromas of pomegranate and raspberry unfurl from the glass, followed by spicy fennel seed and cumin flavours. Pure and dense, it is lifted by a lightness from the fruit. One that's sure to develop beautifully for the next 15 years. Think tomato forward dishes like ratatouille or pasta dishes. Pork, lamb and roasted chicken work, too.
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.

Lots of indulgence, bursting red fruits. I appreciated its juicy and silky side.
