Drink 2025–2051
2021 was a lauded vintage in South Australia. It was long, mild and dry during the growing season and well set up with healthy yields due to favorable conditions during flowering in the spring of 2020. Here, the 2021 High Sands Grenache is just starting to emerge from its shell—the tannins that wrap around the fruit are layered with graphite and dusted licorice, dried rose petals and paprika dolce. The fruit is pure and speaks of soft black cherry and pomegranate. This is a wine that, in the context of this lineup, has only just emerged from "inchoate" and will, like the others, have an extraordinarily long life ahead of it. 14.5% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
