Grenache
Chaffey Bros Pax Aeterna Single Vineyard Barossa Old Vine "Nouveau" Grenache 2023
Bottled Grenache energy!! Whole-bunch vibes emanate throughout, poised like a raspberry packed jack-in-a-box that has a sprinkling of dried cranberry thrown over the top before jamming the lid shut. Smells like Spring; cool but sunny... it's all fresh raspberries, cranberry and musk. On the palate, it's breezy and lively, with bright red fruits and lip-smacking fine tannins that leave you wanting more. Vibrant, complex and complete... this is everything we've loved about our favourite PAX vintages, wrapped up in one epic release. Think spring picnics in the sunshine, wood-fire pizza or enjoy at your local laneway eatery... PAX is one wine that can't be pigeon-holed!
