Fruit is hand-harvested, destemmed with ten percent whole bunches added, cold soaked for five days, then wild fermented for fifteen days on skins before twelve months in seasoned French oak — seasoned, not new, so the fruit stays in front. Bright ruby-red, with lifted cherry cola and red liquorice over cinnamon and clove. The palate is rich, soft and fleshy with rounded tannins and a fresh, persistent close.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAroma\u003c\/strong\u003e — Lifted cherry cola and red liquorice with cinnamon and clove\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate\u003c\/strong\u003e — Rich, soft and fleshy with rounded tannins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e — Fresh, vibrant and persistent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWine details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"nb-details\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProducer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZerella Wines\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVarietal\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrenache\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVintage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2023\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eRegion\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMcLaren Vale\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAlcohol\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.5%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVolume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750 ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVineyard\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSellicks Ranges foothills, low-vine trellis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBest enjoyed with\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoast duck · Charcuterie board · Grilled vegetables\u003cbr\u003eServe at 14–16°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"nb-responsible\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSold by NEXT BOTTLE.
