early the next morning.

TASTING NOTES

Grenache is the most widely planted red grape variety in the world and some of the
best wines in the world have some Grenache in it. Single varietal Grenache wines are
however harder to find. A typical light red colour invites you to this medium bodied and
easy drinking style of wine. Flavours of watermelon, violets and strawberries are
integrated with the subtle oak to give this wine a fresh complexity. The palette has a
creamy taste and is long lasting with smooth and grippy tannins to make it the perfect
food wine for all occasions
