Schrapel Family Bethany Grenache 1999

Schrapel Family Bethany Grenache (Barossa Valley/McLaren Vale) 1999:This wine has a vibrant red purple hue, the bouquet packed with classic Grenache raspberry fruit, but also blackberry, smouldering charcoal and spitting bacon fat. Unsurprisingly, the palate is laden with lusciously textured fruit, pepper and spice. There is a delicious balance of acidity and alcohol, and a clean, spicy finish. Delicious stuff. Very good.
