The 2022 Naked Run The Aldo Grenache is a vibrant Barossa Valley Grenache sourced from an 80-year-old family vineyard lovingly tended for generations. Named in honour of winemaker Steve Baraglia's father, Aldo, this wine showcases a fresh, modern expression of old-vine Grenache with lifted aromas of raspberry, wild strawberry and red cherry, complemented by hints of baking spice, dried herbs and subtle floral notes.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with juicy red berry fruit, lively natural acidity and fine, chewy tannins that provide both texture and balance. Flavours of raspberry, cherry and plum are supported by delicate spice and a savoury finish that remains fresh and approachable. Crafted with hand-harvested fruit and a portion of whole bunch fermentation, the wine offers excellent purity and will continue to evolve over the next 5–8 years.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for customers who enjoy elegant Barossa Grenache with bright fruit, freshness and old-vine character. Pair it with grilled lamb cutlets, roast pork, duck breast, chargrilled vegetables or mushroom dishes. Best served slightly below room temperature after a short decant, with rewarding drinking now or careful cellaring over the next 5–8 years.
