A portion of whole-bunch for the first time enters the High Sands blend, bringing even more spice and structure than usual. Partly matured in Austrian puncheons and ceramic eggs, it’s a wine that respects its fruit and speaks effortlessly of its place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrenache doesn’t get more articulate than this. If you want to understand the heights Australian Grenache can reach, this is the benchmark. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e99 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Wow. This is an important evolution in the history of this great wine, and while not all are developments that a (any) winemaker may choose, this one is both obvious and genius. This is an unbelievable wine. This is inherently McLaren Vale, which is emerging as a unique proposition in the global realm of fine Grenache.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Erin Larkin (The Wine Advocate)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e98+ points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Increasingly, I find this a hard wine to judge, so special is its place in Australian wine... Here, I feel no need to be overly specific. Red fruits? Yes. Savoury? Yes. It’s another seamless wine, resounding echoes of place the key, and so patiently cared for, so lovingly articulated, so finely but commandingly structured, and with such a long time ahead of it.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Marcus Ellis (Halliday Wine Companion)\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e98 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Power and elegance combined.
