Hentley Farm The Old Legend Grenache 2024

Description

Product DescriptionA contemporary expression of Barossa Grenache, Hentley Farm The Old Legend Grenache 2024 is shaped by precision, site and a quietly confident hand. Sourced from shallow red clay‑loam over shattered limestone in the estate’s E1 and C3 blocks, the wine reflects reduced vine vigour and naturally low yields, giving purity and concentration without heaviness. Whole-bunch fermentation, extended skin contact and maturation in seasoned French oak add subtle depth while preserving the vibrancy at the heart of the variety. The palate carries bright red fruit, gentle spice and fine structure, guided by natural malolactic fermentation and eight months of seasoned oak maturation. It is an elegant, textural take on Barossa Grenache, offering clarity of fruit and mineral lift. An effortless companion to grilled quail, charred vegetables or spiced lamb dishes.
