Reviews of 2023 Old Vine Grenache:

95 points, Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Companion, March 2026:
From 1940s bush vines on red-brown loam and deep sand with clay, gravel, ironstone and sandstone from four rows; 10% whole bunch, native yeast, a year in a pair of three-year-old puncheons. This is a spicy wine, in an amaro, vermouth, Campari way. Red cherries, raspberry vinegar (not in a negative way, just the fruit flavour refined and rendered sapid), white pepper, wormwood, coriander seeds, graphite, bitter herbs, cinchona bark, pink peppercorns, some camphor and subtle earthy, leathery, rusty tones. Medium bodied, savoury, tangy in a positively refreshing way. Distinctive. Good.
