Chaffey Bros. Wine Co Pax Aeterna Old Vine Grenache 2023, Barossa Valley, AUD $33
It seems you can’t go wrong choosing any Chaffey Bros wine. From their riesling and semillon through to their grand shiraz, the world is starting to take note. Their secret weapon is their access to prized old vines and their deft handling in the winery, allowing the fruit purity and brilliance to shine through. This eloquent grenache nails the brief for modern and fresh grenache.
Notes of rosemary mix with rose and raspberry on the pretty nose. The palate offers depth yet its texture is airy and the tannins glide across. It’s a delicious young grenache that favours elegance over brawn. (Screwcap)
