Curtis Small Batch Grenache Shiraz 2022, McLaren Vale

Curtis Small Batch Grenache Shiraz 2022, McLaren Vale

The palate is full and ripe, it almost tastes more like Shiraz than Grenache, but that’s the fruitcake bomb this wine is. Rich, full and savoury, with touches of Christmas-cake fruits, dark blackcurrant and real intensity. This style packs a serious punch: full-flavoured and boisterous, with bold texture and layers of complexity. Not for the faint-hearted. The finish is long, carrying persistent dark fruit, spice and a gentle savoury edge that reflects the warmth and generosity of McLaren Vale.

Vino Masters Score: 95/100 ★★★★★ A rich, powerful red with fruitcake intensity and savoury depth.
