Olivers Road Single Vineyard Grenache 6
Seductive glazed cherry and raspberry aromas are underpinned by a five-spice complexity. A mouth- filling wine which is intensely flavoured, fleshy and rounded, finishing with focus and excellent palate length. This wine displays all the elements expected from a pedigree vineyard, ensuring it will mature well for several years to come.
