Alkina Kin Grenache 2023, Barossa Valley, AUD $36
Alkina are serious producers digging deep in their vineyards to analyse their soils. Their top wines come with hefty price tags, but this grenache is one of their entry-level wines.
Raspberry and rosemary on the nose lead into a sappy core. Raspy tannins balance the ebullient swathe of red berries, suggesting there might be some whole bunches in the fermentation. This is a lively grenache with interest. (Screwcap)
