Cirillo The Vincent Grenache 2016 + Lost Buoy Grenache 2016
Cirillo The Vincent Barossa Grenache 2016
By Marco Cirillo, the guru of Grenache.
Cirillo The Vincent Barossa Grenache is bright, crisp and flavoursome all at once. The Vincent has beautiful licorice and leather with a sweeter, raspberried edge and fine grained tannin along with fruit that is remarkably vibrant and appealing to the palate. Good times running through its veins. Feels exotic.
Lost Buoy Forgotten Ida McLaren Vale Grenache 2016
Hidden from history and unable to share its story, Grenache, like the brig IDA wrecked on Port Willunga beach in 1857 was forgotten, hidden in blends or fortified.
Today like the remains of IDA revealed by the waves that crash onto shore, McLaren Vale Grenache is being rediscovered for its fragrance, character and unique reflection of local terroir. A once off for the Lost Buoy portfolio, Forgotten IDA Grenache is light crimson in colour, generous raspberry and rhubarb tart bouquet with subtle fruit sweetness and creamy but textured palate.
This wine is really something exciting to showcase the potential of McLaren Vale Grenache.
