2018 Bekkers, McLaren Vale Grenache

97 points James Halliday: "Picked 1, 10 and 23 Mar, each parcel wild yeast-open fermented separately with 10% whole bunches, the remainder destemmed, 5-6 days cold soak, matured in French puncheons. Bright, clear colour; medium-bodied, exceptional balance, spicy red/purple berries, fine tannins, and a very long finish."

96 points Real Review: "A second look at this, one of the standard bearers for modern McLaren Vale grenache. Dark coloured, powerfully scented and flavoured: a very full-bodied grenache with structure and drive, such as one doesn’t often find in pure grenache in Australia. A really majestic grenache. Great wine: big future."
