2021 Neldner Road Barossa Valley Grenache Shiraz Mataro import_2022_06_02_092838 wild malolactic fermentation in barrelAs the dominant component, Grenache offers powerful aromas of red fruits, kirsch and black cherries, complemented by mincemeat, leather, game and heavy spices from the Shiraz and Mataro influences. Although soft and sensuous, its vibrant palate is supported by grainy tannins and a long finish, resulting in a wine whose ultimate expression is far greater than the sum of its parts.
