Description
Grenache this good doesn’t need dressing up. Grown on 80-year-old vines on the Adelina Home block, this is one of the quiet achievers of Clare Valley - made without fuss, but with a clear sense of purpose.
The fruit was destemmed, half of it crushed, then fermented in concrete and a Drunk Turtle amphora. It stayed on skins for three weeks, then matured in the same amphora for ten months. No oak. No makeup. Just clarity and texture, straight from the site.
This vintage is bang-on. Light on its feet but with real shape and tension, it’s all red fruit, spice, and energy. The tannins are fine and sandy, the finish savoury and clean. There’s lift, detail, and a kind of ease to the whole thing that makes it incredibly drinkable now but it’ll hold up if you want to let it sit.
One of the best expressions of Clare Valley Grenache you’ll find, full stop.

"This sits beautifully at medium weight, cinched with ultrafine, graphite-laced tannins, very slim-line and succulent... The texture is beautiful, otherworldly almost, the wine delivering levity and finesse for the variety. And, importantly, so damn delicious."

"What a beautiful and distinct expression of Grenache this is. Delicate and wonderful."

"Bright and pure with high-toned, red-fruited aromas of dried strawberries, wild raspberries... There's a high level of energy and polish here that will develop gracefully in bottle. Drink or hold. Screw cap."
- Ryan Montgomery (James Suckling)

From the perfume of raspberry/pomegranate and first taste, this Grenache is beautiful. It glides along the palate, all finesse, no edges. Why pay more for Pinot or Burgundy when you drink a red as good as this.
