Alkina Estate Grenache 2025

Alkina Estate Grenache 2025
$55, 14% alcohol, DIAM cork, Barossa Valley.

This is a totally gorgeous wine and after one healthy sip I was totally onboard. The spread of fine, almost sandy tannin; the bloom of red licorice, red cherry and strawberry-like fruit flavour; the spice notes coming at you like a hand net flung out across the bay; the way orange peel notes curl and flutter; the way tannin – I’m onto the tannin again – emerges like skin off the flesh and the bone of the wine proper. This is where we’re at. This is the goods. This is a fit, medium weight wine of sinew and import. 95 points.
