Bakkers Mclaren Vale Grenache

The palate is bright, pure, and red‑fruited, opening with a rush of raspberry, wild strawberry, and red cherry before settling into a gently spicy, softly earthy core that feels very McLaren Vale but rendered with a lighter modern touch. Acidity is fresh and lively, giving the wine lift and keeping the fruit feeling crunchy rather than sweet. Tannins are fine, sandy, and quietly persistent, offering shape without heaviness—classic Grenache grain. Subtle notes of rosehip, cranberry skin, white pepper, and warm sandstone add nuance across the mid‑palate, which is silky, open, and charmingly transparent.
