Wine Family: The Classics
Tasting Notes:
Exceptional colour for Grenache. Dark, intense deep purple-crimson. Striking notes of rhubarb, raspberry jam and redcurrant. The palate is soft and savoury showing a more full-bodied style of Grenache. A flow of red cherries, rhubarb and red plums are coated with a fine layer of cedar wood introducing more dark flavoured characters like plums and hints of dark chocolate. The texture of the oak flavours and tannins are firm and finely balanced. A Grenache that reminds you why Mclaren Vale is one of the best regions for this grape variety in the world. Enormous value.
Behind the Name:
At a time when Grenache was considered unfashionable, Chester acquired many old bush vine, overgrown and abandoned vineyards. These vineyards still have a slightly dishevelled appearance, but they are back producing very low yields of exceptional fruit.
