Organic Hill Founders Release Grenache 2023
$50, 13.5% alcohol, screwcap, McLaren Vale.

This wine was grown organically and has had no preservatives added.

This is a free-flowing grenache with deliciousness written all over it. It tastes of fresh, juicy raspberry, red cherry, violet and peppercorn flavours, and from start to finish it feels satiny and makes you want to dive in for more. The combination of berried fruit flavours and floral characters is a treat, as indeed is this wine’s overall exuberance. 92 points.
