Orlando, Cellar 13, Grenache, Barossa Valley, 2024

Dark Garnet hue. Raspberry and fivespice with a doughy savoury underscore. Dark cherry, rose petal, soft herbal medicinal lift and graphite. Unashamedly fruit forward, yet maintains structure. Yin and yang: Crunchy and jubey, yet silky and smooth. Darkly delicious and bound to be found under RRP.

RRP: $35
Alc: 14.5%
