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.
Drink 2014-2020

I really like this Grenache (sadly, no more. Vineyard burned!). Yes, it's high alcohol, but carries it so well. Don't drink it too warm, though.
Clear mid red colour. Great raspberry and cherry nose, with waves of raspberry fruit and gentle tannins.
