About The Wine
The Other Wine Co.'s mantra is all about 'the right grape grown in the right place', and you don't get too much more right grape / right place than Grenache from McLaren Vale.
Their other guiding light is ensuring they pick the fruit at optimal ripeness - not at all overripe - so as to retain all the grape's natural aromatics and acid from these 45-year-old vines.
It's the very model of the modern, fresh and vibrant style of Grenache that McLaren Vale is becoming ever more synonymous with.
If you're a fan of bright and juicy Grenache, then jump on this wine - it's a bargain.

Critic Reviews
"Three Blewitt Springs vineyards contribute different elements to this thoroughly modern grenache. Each parcel was fermented separately, with 10% whole bunches in each. Matured for just 7 months in a range of relatively neutral vessels. Initial earthy, almost ironwork-like notes and bush herbals lead into a juicy style, a little ripper. It's fresh and vibrant, but then gathers an encouraging mouthfeel with powdery, earthy tannins. Very likeable." - Tony Love (Halliday Wine Companion)
"There’s a bit going on with this Grenache. Flavours of black tea, woodsmoke, dried herbs, black cherry and red licorice have it slipping back and forth between sweetness and savouriness. It has a smoky edge but there’s nothing remotely acrid about it. Indeed it’s juicy, medium-bodied and pleasant to drink, if a little drying through the finish." - Campbell Mattinson (The Wine Front)

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine.
