DogRidge MVP Grenache 2015
McLaren Vale, South Australia, AustraliaDogRidge’s sustainably farmed vineyards are home to some of the oldest vines in McLaren Vale, with 80+ year old Shiraz, Grenache, and Cabernet Sauvignon growing on their McLaren Flat site. MVP is their Most Valuable Player, and the pinnacle tier of the winery. With 10% whole bunch, this was native fermented with extended skin contact and spent 6 months in new French oak before being racked to older barrels. It remains in wood for around 2 years prior to bottling. Dried cherry, strawberry compote, dried blossoms, cracked mustard seed, worked leather flood a juicy palate, wrapped with finely sticky tannins, and swelled with an easy acidity. OV Grenache's concentration and warmth is countered by the juicy acidity, leaving this full-bodied wine still feeling buoyant. Drinking beauty now, ideally with grilled pork / mushrooms.Tasted: 07 July 2023Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| ON | $82.00 | 750ml | consignment |
