Bekkers - McLaren Vale Grenache 2021:

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.

98 Punkte - James Halliday_The Weekend Australian:

"The red berry, cherry and a whisper of dark chocolate define the bouquet and palate of a totally delicious wine. All the flavours of the palate are those promised by the bouquet. It’s only 14% alc/vol and medium-bodied; the superb balance guarantees a wine that can be drunk tonight and all steps of the 30 years to follow." - James Halliday

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

"The 2021 Grenache leads with pink peppercorns, blood plum skin, green tea, violets, myrrh, hints of almond, rose petal and star anise. So pretty. In the mouth, the wine is detailed and fresh, with fresh cracked pink peppercorns, mulberry, raspberry leaf tea and a hint of nutmeg. This is a beautiful wine, consistently good. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap." -Wine Advocate

95 Punkte - James Suckling:

"A producer firmly entrenched within the regional pantheon, if not playing a very different card to the transparent, red-fruited pinot-like zeitgeist. Blewitt Springs, Kangarilla and Onkaparinga sourcing services sand, ironstone and silty geologies and a shift in ripening windows. The texture is broad with warm and sunny terracotta aromas. Blood plum, clove, tamarind and souk-like exotica buffer the textural mid-palate. The finish, long and penetrating. Despite the open-knit attack, there is ample compression at the finish, suggesting further space to unfurl in the cellar. Excellent grenache, glimpsing greats of the southern Rhone. Drink or hold."

96 Punkte - Wine Pilot:

"Signature McLaren Vale, the wine is singing before you begin to lift the glass to your face. Crimson rose, fresh raspberries and redcurrant are upfront followed by blackberry, Damson plum skin and Adzuki bean. What follows is an arrangement of parts that, once tasted, meld seamlessly into such a pleasurable wine drinking experience that does not require any further dissection. Fine Mithril tannins (yes it's fictional chain mail from Lord of the Rings) but it does feel other worldly. A long, very lengthy palate of nutmeg, five spice and King mushroom follow. Devine. Drink with Rabbit stew and don’t forget the poh-tate-toes." -Shanteh Wale
