Vino Volta Pezzonovante grenache 2023

I do like this example of an old bush vine-generated Swan Valley grenache. It was an outstanding year, and it has been captured so well. The nose is highly perfumed with scented rose petals and raspberry. In the winery, it was naturally fermented with some whole bunches using a pinot technique, and then matured only in old oak. So, this is about expressing the fruit, which it does quite beautifully. The tannins have a degree of suppleness, and yet they harness perfectly and shape the palate through to its sustained finish. A first-rate wine.
