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, 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.
