Pirathon Wines Grenache, Shiraz, Mataro 2024
G 93
Crimson red. An earthy, terroir-distinct GSM that celebrates that mix of earth-cum-savoury dark-fruited intensity and textural creaminess that goes long into the finish. Aromas of dark cherry, plum and rose petal. Long and quite luxurious across the palate, creamy in texture and resounding in a lovely complexity of spice-led, red-fruited freshness. Now–2029 Torbreck Hillside Vineyard Grenache 2024 G 93 Medium crimson. Intense red cherry, strawberry, rose garden. Sweet, almost luscious buoyancy with strawberry, ginger, aniseed flavours, lovely creamy complexity, lacy/chalky tannins and fresh mineral acidity. Juicy minerally finish. 1949-planted vines. 1850-established estate. Now–2028 Yelland & Papps Limited Cuvée Grenache 2025 G 93 Quiet and subdued aromas benefit from a good swish of air before opening to reveal a richer style of grenache in earth, choco-mint aromas, blackberries, blackcurrant pastille, cherry and woodsmoke. A light oaky smokiness opens on the palate with twig, herbs, black fruits, anise, chocolate and mint, delivered on hearty chocolaty tannins. Generous and smooth. Now–2036 Yelland & Papps Single Vineyard Old Vine Grenache 2025 G 93 Bright purple. Full-bodied and high in spice, made in a soft, lightly oaked, fleshy tannin style that is immediately appealing. Reveals good depth and concentration of red and dark fruits on the palate with five spice, pepperberry, anise, earth and light florals and confection. Finishes on a lasting pepperiness. Now–2033 Arila Gardens Moppa Grenache, Shiraz, Mataro 2024 G 92 Bright purple-crimson. Fruit-forward in lively black cherry and plum with red florals, rose petal and light confection notes.
