Craneford Marananga Sands Grenache 2023

96 Points

Brilliant crimson in colour, this Grenache opens with lifted aromas of red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, supported by notes of dried herbs and gentle spice. The palate is soft and rounded, with fine acidity bringing freshness and balance to the generous fruit core.

There’s an understated rustic charm here; a nod to classic French winemaking, where texture and purity take centre stage. The wine glides gracefully, revealing supple tannins and savoury undertones that build complexity with air.

As it evolves in the glass, new layers unfold, a wine that changes shape and mood, just like the sands of Marananga.
