Barossa

Yalumba Tri-Centenary Barossa Grenache

Grenache 2012

Vintage quality:

This vintage was one without extremes. Average temperature through spring and summer allowed the grapes to flourish, and mild weather through the ripening period allowed the production of grapes with outstanding depth of flavour. Accolades & Awards: 2 Gold

Notes:

Dense black purple in colour, this wine has aromas of fig, plum, cassis, violet, rose petals, dark ganache and briar; all seamlessly melded together. The palate shows bittersweet chocolate, smouldering black tea and charcoal with notes of hot stone and lavender lurking in the background. A tarry spine keeps it all balanced, with finely beaded acidity and a graphite filled finish. This wine wonderfully captures the power and drive of the 2012 vintage.
