Wirra Wirra Farmer's Heart Grenache 2023

McLaren Vale, South Australia, AustraliaThe ‘23 Farmer’s Heart Grenache is sourced from McLaren Vale subregions with vines aged 26 to 130 years. Nearly half of the blend comes from vines over a century old, and 74% comes from those 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 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 is braised chicken with ginger, soy, and star anise.Tasted: 17 April 2025Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:
