Bekkers - McLaren Vale Grenache 2019:

Die Bekkers lieben Grenache und schenken dieser Rotweintraube ein besonderes Augenmerk. Ihr McLaren Vale Grenache gehört sicher zu den besten Grenaches des gesamten Kontinents. Sorgfältig zusammengesetzte Cuvée aus 3 verschiedenen Weinbergsparzellen des McLaren Vale.

In der Nase sehr elegant, mit schönen Schwarzkirsch,- und feinen Himbeernoten. Es gesellen sich auch hoch aromatische und überaus duftige asiatische Gewürze dazu. Die herrliche Nase macht richtig Lust auf den ersten Schluck.

Am Gaumen dann mittlerer bis voller Körper mit seidig-weichen und großzügigen Aromen dunkler und reifer Früchte. Die überaus feinkörnige Tanninstruktur wird dabei von den delikaten Gewürzkomponenten bestens unterstützt. Bemerkenswert ausgewogen, sehr sinnlich, mit langem, reichhaltigen und komplexen Finale - ohne dabei die notwendige Eleganz zu vermissen - Weltklasse.

96+ Points - Erin Larkin (RobertParker.com):

"The 2019 Grenache shows pomegranate, raspberry, red licorice, clove, aniseed and a hint of fennel flower alongside crushed quartz, and it is possessed of very fine, silty tannins. There are notes of framboise—strawberries—orange zest, black tea and some saffron. Mellifluous... it's excellent." -Wine Advocate

97 Punkte - James Halliday 2022:

"Blewitt, Seaview and Kangarilla sourcing across a meld of sand, ironstone, gravel, silt and clay. The wine that I look forward to the most here, no matter how brilliant the others are. A shimmering light ruby. A textural polyglot, incandescent, lit by its delicate shades of fruit as much as its textural precision and savouriness. Nebbiolo meets pinot on the nose. This is what grenache does at the highest calibre. Sandalwood, Darjeeling, bergamot, crushed rose, pomegranate, tamarind and kirsch. Long and gritty in the best sense. Febrile. Tensile. Would love to see it in bigger oak. A beautiful stain on the memory bank."

98 Punkte - The Wine Pilot:

"The Bekkers model is a little unusual for grenache in some ways rejecting the concept of single site is best and going for greater complexity by taking fruit from a variety of sub-regions. Toby and Emmanuelle use fruit from a small number of select vineyards around McLaren Vale, from Blewitt Springs and Seaview Road at around 100m in altitude up to Kangarilla at 240m. It ranges from close to the ocean on Seaview Road to 17 kilometres inland at Kangarilla. Whatever they are doing is working as this wine is a stunningly beautiful interpretation of Australian Grenache.

But it’s not a wine that immediately jumps out and bites. It creeps up on you and only slowly reveals all it has to offer. Lightish in colour it has superb fruit purity – red cherry, tobacco, cinnamon and red earth thrown in the mix with a subtle blanket of oak. The palate balance is then exceptional between ripe yet compact fruit and surprising tannin weight while remaining silky. The climax is an ethereal finish – long and fine that goes on for what seems like an eternity. It’s a new highpoint in Australian Grenache with a long life ahead."

96 Punkte - The Real Review:

"Medium ruby colour, bright and hints of purple in the rim. Red cherry, dusty earth and cumin on the nose. The palate follows the nose in its savoury dominance. The fruit has ample intensity but it’s the earth and spice notes that build interest and character. It is seamless in its flow with fine tannins and soft acidity caressing it extremely long. A great example of what can be done in the Vale with grenache and time will only improve the experience"

96 Punkte - The Vintage Journal:

"Medium crimson. Fresh musky plum, raspberry aromas with hints of stonefruit, mocha, roasted walnut. Well-rounded and developed palate with deep set musky plum, raspberry, mocha flavours, fine loose knit chalky tannins, some roasted walnut notes and long fresh indelible acidity. Finishes chalky with pronounced acidity. Sourced from Blewitt Springs, Kangarilla and Onkaparinga Hills vineyard site."
