2005 Samuel's Gorge Grenache McLaren Vale South Australia

SKU #1039018

This wine has exploded out of the blocks. If you have a huge affection for mulberries, there is an abundance of that very black berry fruit on the nose. Behind the rich fruit lies asphalt and fine aged wood aromatics. Look further to the dark chocolate. The mouth feel has an even silky tannin profile that carries off the palate.

Additional Information:

Varietal:	Grenache - Fat, ripe and rich, the wines made from Grenache are easy to love. This varietal is most famous in the Southern Rhone areas such as Chateauneuf-du-Pape, and Gigondas where Grenache has long been an important component of delicious blends. This red grape is widely planted through out the Western Mediterranean, with the largest concentration in Spain. There it is known as Garnacha. Australia, too, has large plantings of Grenache mainly in the southeastern areas. It was once the most widely planted varietal, but was surpassed by Shiraz in the 1960's. Here is a list of our bestselling Grenache
Country:	Australia - While it is true that the greatest strides in Australian winemaking have come in the last 30 years or so, commercial viticulture began as early as the 1820s and has developed uninterrupted ever since. The majority of the great Region are in the southeastern area of the continent, with the Barossa Valley, Claire Valley, McLaren Vale, and Coonawarra in South Australia, the Yarra Yarra Velley and Pyrenees in Victoria and the Upper and Lower Hunter Valleys in New South Wales. Many of the wines from Southeastern Australia are based on Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon and various blends including Grenache and Mourvedre. In Western Australia, along the Margaret River, great strides are being made with Pinot Noir as well as Bordeaux-styled reds. There are also many world-class releases of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling from the land Down Under. While many equate Aussie wines with "value", there are more than a few extremely rare and pricey options, which never fail to earn the highest ratings from wine publications and critics throughout the world.
