John Duval - Annexus Grenache 2022 750ml

"Whilst Shiraz may have played a leading role in John Duval’s winemaking career, he has long admired the qualities of Barossa Grenache. Through long term relationships with local grape growing families, we are able to source Grenache from a priceless resource of old vineyards to contribute to our Plexus red blend. In the very best years, parcels of the most exceptional wines are reserved for Annexus Grenache, with the intention of showcasing the best Grenache from an exceptional vintage, sourced from old and ancestor Barossa vines. 

The 2022 vintage was set up beautifully with good soil moisture carrying over from the mild 2021 vintage. A significant October hail event reduced yields in some vineyards, but luckily most escaped without impacting quality. La Nina influenced weather patterns resulted in mild harvest conditions again, allowing for even flavour accumulation and vibrant aromatics and acidity. A standout season.  

NOSE: Bright and juicy red cherry, raspberry, and floral top notes with a core of savoury spice & earthen notes.

PALATE: Generous layers of elegant red fruits, plenty of savoury earthy spice with round and juicy tannins." - John & Tim Duval
