Glen's Eden Grenache, 2025

Grenache from vines planted in 1857, made light on its feet rather than big and jammy.

Grenache from the Stonegarden vineyard in the Eden Valley, first planted in 1857 at 390 metres. Bright, crunchy raspberry and red berries, a floral lift, roasted spice and a touch of liquorice, with a mineral edge. It is medium-weight and fine-grained rather than heavy, with a long, savoury finish. It starts a little tight and opens up beautifully with an hour of air.
