Esk Valley Artisanal Grenache Hawkes Bay, New Zealand

A beautifully expressive and characterful Grenache from the sun-drenched vineyards of Hawke's Bay. Bright ruby red in colour, the nose reveals enticing aromas of ripe raspberries, wild strawberries and red cherries, complemented by delicate floral notes, sweet spice and a hint of dried Mediterranean herbs. The palate is generous and wonderfully smooth, offering juicy red berry fruits, subtle hints of plum and warming spice, supported by fine, silky tannins and a lovely freshness. Elegant and beautifully balanced, with a supple texture and a long, lingering finish of ripe fruit and gentle savoury notes.
