Vanguardist 'V' Blewitt Springs McLaren Vale Grenache 2021
Michael J. Corbett is arguably the greatest grenache winemaker in Australia and thanks to his skill and meticulous attention to detail his 'V' range has achieved cult-hero status in Australia. We're thrilled to have been able to secure a small parcel of this outstanding grenache for Wine Society members. A medium-weight, elegant grenache, the aromas are immediately inviting, with notes of damsons, sloes and redcurrant. The palate is serious, with incredible presence, delicious firm tannins and beautifully integrated but ever-present acidity. It's a masterclass in structural balance. Redcurrant continues on the palate and is joined by bramble and dried herbs. Complex, pristine and as nigh-on perfect as any Australian grenache buyer Freddy Bulmer has tasted.
