2024 Vanguardist Oeno Grenache

There's talk about Grenache in Australia. Some people are seeing those ancient vines in McLaren Vale as our 'Burgundy'. Vanguardist are making some of the finest Grenache - fine boned, perfumed this is a wine for you to drink now, or hold onto it for some years for a reward further down the track. 

This wine is fragrant and pretty, with notes of violet, raspberry, red currants and a hint of spice. It's incredibly drinkable and made with such thought and care, it's a true delight.  

'Oeno’ derives from both the Evening Primrose (Oenothera Biennis) found in this vineyard, combined with the science dedicated to the study and knowledge of wines, Oenology. The vineyard boasts an altitude exceeding 200m above sea level. The top soil is pure sand, with clay and red ironstone pockets below the surface.
