2023 Yalumba The Tri-Centenary Ancestor Vine Grenache
A super juicy, silky textured Grenache that’s bursting at the seams with flavour.
This single vineyard Grenache has been crafted from grapes sourced from a two acre block in the Yalumba Tri-Centenary vineyard. Located in the heart of the Barossa Valley, this block comprises 820 gnarly old bush vines that were planted in 1889.
Translucent ruby red colour with a very light red tinged hue. Wafting through the nostrils are intense raspberry jube, ripe cherry, red liquorice and plum juice aromas followed by some confectionary and vanillin spice notes. Super juicy, the incredibly moreish palate is bursting with raspberry jube, ripe cherry and red liquorice fruits. Notions of plum, vanillin confectionary and spice follow on. Luscious in it’s feel with silky tannins and outstanding power, it finishes long, fresh and super succulent.
Drink over the next 5-6 years.
