2024 Greenock Creek Grenache Blanc

Glossy textured pear and red apple fruits with a refreshing mineral edged finish.

Brilliant pale straw to straw colour with a subtle glimmer of green to the edges and a watery hue. Aromas of pear and red apple drift from the glass with hints of lime, quince and spice also evident. Delicious pear and red apple fruits are to the fore carrying with them a glossy textural feel. Delicate lime, quince and wet stone elements line the back half. Nicely integrated acidity lends a brisk feel to the refreshing mineral edged finish.
Drink over the next 1-2 years.
Alc. 13.5%

Other Reviews……
An impressive new wine in the Greenock Creek line-up; a single-vineyard grenache blanc from the edge of Marananga, made with extended skin contact in the press and fermented/matured in equal parts clay amphora and stainless steel. Pale straw with bright grapefruit, pear and citrus characters with hints of meadow flowers, crème fraîche, a light dusting of ginger spice, crushed stone and lime zest. That pithy textural aspect is dialled in beautifully here; the wine leans dry and savoury on the back end with a minerally cadence. Super stuff! Drink by 2031.
