Country: Australia / Basket Pressed Amery Vineyard
Variety: Grenache South Australia
Winery: Kay Brothers / McLaren Vale
A lovely, complex example of why McLaren Vale Grenache deserves more of our attention. Like the last days of summer, this wine smells of drying flowers still on their stalks. Tart cherries, dried leaves, and medicinal herbs come through on the palate, which finishes smokey, like the dying embers of the last barbecue of the season.
