Tasting Notes:

Light bright crimson purple in colour. Quite intense aromatics of earth and spice, together with a hint of rose petal and turkish delight. Concentrated rich red and black berry, plum characters being quite dominant with underlying pepper and spice. Subtle hints of raspberry and red licorice flavours, with a backbone of finely grained tannins and oak.

Technical:

Alexander Laing is sourced from a single vineyard in Greenock on the far northwestern slopes of the Barossa valley. The Grenache from Alexander Laing vineyard manifests itself as small berries on small bunches that are packed with flavour. That, coupled with old vines that have already proved their provenance, gives us a perfect base. At dawn, the grapes are handpicked then destemmed. Fermentation, like our top wines, Exile and Émigré, is conducted in vats, followed by maloactic fermentation and ageing in French oak barrels.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jinki 2 from Wow! What a nice drop Just bought this one and of course put a couple in the kitchen to taste. Both went very fast! A really nice smooth red. Will definitely buy again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Whose from Excellent Alternative I am into my second dozen. It's a lighter style with good flavour. My wife loves it, even with fish.

Rated 5 out of 5 by RogeratTweed from A lovely wine This Grenache has a beautiful colour and a delicious taste. A great alternative to the bigger Shiraz and Cab Sav. A good value wine.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Wax Lyrical from What a cracker! I've always been a fan of grenache and this one really lived up to my expectations. A lighter style of red with some lovely rasberry/strawberry notes. Drinking well.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Thomo from Nice Grenache Enjoyed this bottle, was even nicer the next day after allowing to breathe. I really enjoyed the intensity & flavor of this wine. The only issue I had with this wine was the difficulty I had pulling the cork from this bottle & the additional 3 I had purchased. Would still recommend

Rated 4 out of 5 by love a red from Another great Colonial wine to enjoy I tried this wine recently and have put some away to enjoy at a later date. It is a very nice red with typical Grenache flavour - love all the Colonial wines.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Petsonvic from A wine full of character Usually I buy heavier style wines, finding the lighter colored wines insipid. This is definitely not one of those. We enjoyed it immensely.
