Bethany First Village Grenache 2020

Significantly different in personality to its stern old-vine sibling Blue Quarry, First Village represents the joyous nexus of modern Australian Grenache: a playful celebration of fresh red berries on the front palate, but with grip and growl in the tail. This ensures serious structure focused on line, length and purity. Cherry cola and wild raspberry notes are kept in check by sandy tannins. An alluring, arresting beauty. Drinking window: 2022-2026. Score - 94.
