Curtis Heritage South Australia Grenache 2021

The Curtis family have been growning grapes and making wine in McLaren Vale since 1973. Their family winery is just west of the township of McLaren Vale and is now run by Mark, Thomas and Jenna Curtis, with the occasional word of two of guidance from their father, Claudio Curtis. Their Heritage label may be a nod to the past, but stylistically, this Grenache is modern, fresh and highly enjoyable. Aromas of soft red fruits, strawberries and raspberries especially, with hints of spice and rose petal. Sam Kim, Wine Orbit is full of praise: "This is delightfully styled, showing sweet cherry, floral, olive and warm spice aromas, leading to a beautifully smooth palate that's rounded and flowing. A lovely expression of the variety with an immediate appeal". Ned Goodwin MW in the Halliday Wine Companion recommends chilling it to enhance its moreish quality further.
