A premium Australian red wine crafted in the McLaren Vale region, celebrated for its exceptional Grenache.

This vintage showcases elegance and balance, with vibrant flavours of red berries, cherries, and subtle spice, complemented by soft, silky tannins.

The wine reflects the region's Mediterranean climate and unique terroir, highlighting a delicate combination of fruit intensity and finesse.

It pairs beautifully with a variety of dishes, particularly lamb, roasted vegetables, or charcuterie, making it an excellent choice for both casual gatherings and fine dining.

Every wine is scored out of 100 under the Winetrust Scoring System: Flavour 50 (nose 15, palate 25, finish 10), Structure 25, Balance & Harmony 15, Presentation 10. Totals are computed, never hand-entered.

Two bottles minimum, tasted on separate occasions by a named reviewer, unblind — and disclosed. Gifted samples are declared. Price never touches the score — value is rated separately. Nothing below 87 is listed, and key wines are re-tasted at twelve months with their score history preserved.
