The 2022 Wirra Wirra The Absconder Grenache is a premium McLaren Vale Grenache, crafted from old-vine vineyards to deliver depth, power and regional character. The nose is highly aromatic and complex, showing raspberry, black cherry and redcurrant, layered with notes of rose petal, dried herbs, spice and a hint of licorice.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with fine, sandy tannins and a silky yet structured texture. Concentrated red and dark fruit flavours are complemented by savoury nuances, subtle oak and spice, leading to a long, polished and persistent finish. The style is bold yet refined, offering both richness and elegance with excellent ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout Grenache for customers seeking a more premium, structured expression with depth and complexity. Ideal for decanting and enjoying now or cellaring over the next 8–10 years. Perfect with lamb, roasted meats, charcuterie or Mediterranean dishes.
