Description
The Oeno Grenache shows exactly why Michael Corbett is regarded as one of the country’s finest interpreters of Blewitt Springs. From 54-year-old bush vines rooted in deep sand on the Rende Vineyard, this is Grenache that trades weight for precision, delivering clarity, texture and drive.
Handpicked fruit was fermented with 60% whole bunches, then matured for 15 months in a mix of French oak puncheons and a 1,500L concrete sphere. It’s fragrant and energetic, with red cherry, cranberry and spice lifted by subtle herbal and floral notes. The tannins are fine and shaping, giving the wine both line and persistence.
Oeno may be the entry point to the Vanguardist range, but it has all the class and polish of the top wines. Pure, focused and effortlessly drinkable, it’s another masterclass in modern McLaren Vale Grenache.

"It’s lighter and breezier than the V Grenache, and I’d expect that’s kind of the point. Very nice. So stylish."

Australia is one of the best Grenache producing countries in the world and the renditions from SA and the Blewitt Springs region absolutely singular and world class. Vanguardist is a superb maker, this has gorgeous fruit, texture and lip-smacking savouriness. It's medium bodied and an all round crowd pleaser. Excellent wine.
