Juxtaposed Boomstick Grenache / Tempranillo 2016
South Australia, AustraliaSixty-five percent of this blend, the grenache, came from the 1921-planted Smart Vineyard in Clarendon in McLaren Vale, while the tempranillo remainder came from the Lane Vineyard on Kangaroo Island. The tempranillo was half whole bunch with the remainder crushed and destemmed. Post-ferment it was bottled with the grenache where it remained for four short months before bottling, unfined and unfiltered. Interesting brick dusty edged hue, this perfumed red opens with savoury gravels and a mineral cut defining plum, black raspberry, wild blackberry and graphite-dusted pixellated tannins. Sarsaparilla trails the lengthy finish. Think Montsant crossed with Aussie innovation. Bright freshness at 13.3 degrees, this welcomes a chill.Tasted: 27 August 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| Australia | $29.00 | 750ml | Australia |
