Thursday, August 28, 2014 - Jasper Hill 'Cornella's Vineyard' Grenache 2012, Heathcote VIC
Very sadly the Cornella's Vineyard burnt to the ground early this year. Ron assured us they would re-graft & so it will be just a few years without this lovely wine.
In comparison to other Jasper Hill wines this wine is very different, fruit is subtle, wine is medium bodied, offering youthful pretty characteristics rather than rich, ripe fruit concentration & weight.
Really enjoyed the moorish tannins & nice acid line, very approachable now & enjoyed with chicken livers, crusty bread & Greek pork sausages w sweet peppers.
