Wirra Wirra Farmer's Heart Grenache 2023

McLaren Vale, South Australia, AustraliaThe '23 Farmer's Heart Grenache is sourced from McLaren Vale sub-regions with vines aged 26 to 130 years. Nearly half of the blend comes from vines that are over a century old, and 74% comes from those that are over 95 years old. This wine offers excellent value for $25 in Ontario. The nose features enticing spice, bright red fruits, dried herbs, and rose petals. The palate delivers creamy red fruit flavours with a long, spicy finish. The subdued tannins and savoury finish provide a delightful umami experience. Drink or hold for up to five years—recommended pairing: braised chicken with ginger, soy, and star anise.Tasted: 17 April 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
