Rockbare Tideway Grenache 2017
Rockbare
The RockBare journey, which began in late 2000, last year took a new direction when two multi-generational wine families came together in partnership: the Jackson family from California and the Melbourne-based Valmorbida family. Their combined focus will create a distinctive expression on the diverse wine regions across SA and those varieties that make them famous. Winemaker Shelley Torresan, heads a team that sources grapes from family owned vineyards and also well-regarded growers. Many of these loyal growers have been involved with RockBare for the past 18 years, committed to representing the very best of South Australia and being part of the now bigger RockBare family.

Grenache so pure and delicate it borders on angelic (or celestial, if you prefer). The gentlest touch and the effective expulsion of oak, has given you a picture of grenache at its prettiest. Drink by: 2024

Offering lovely varietal purity, the wine shows sweetly perfumed aromas of raspberry and dark plum on the nose with nuances of toasted nut, thyme and floral. The palate is equally charming and delectable with juicy fruit intensity and rounded mouthfeel, backed by silky texture and polished tannins. At its best: now to 2023

Beautiful statement of McLaren Vale grenache. Lifted rose petal and leafy notes on the nose with a touch of raspberry spiciness. Slightly chalky tannins with a seamless smooth palate texture that extends effortlessly to a very long finish.

This is a gorgeous wine, but you need to give it a little time and air to show its best. Pale mid-red colour. Beautifully aromatic, soft sweet-fruit; bright raspberry and cherry with accents of musk. Low tannin and bright acidity. A modern, bright, fragrant, light-red for early drinking
