2022 Vinya Vella Grenache, Dylan Grigg, Barossa Valley
Made from old bush vines that average in the region of 150 years of age, the 2022 Vinya Vella Grenache is enticing from the off - vibrant, aromatic and seductive, it slowly fills out and develops with time in the glass. It is brimming with juicy, fleshy red berry and stone fruit aromas, violets, a hint of clove, as well as earthy tones and eucalyptus. On the palate, the wine is supremely textural with silky, svelte tannins supported by layers of red and black berry fruits and spice, leading into a long, evolving finish. Elegant, fresh, and approachable today, this old-vine Grenache has the complexity to age impressively for at least another decade.
