The 2024 Wirra Wirra The Absconder Grenache is a premium McLaren Vale Grenache, crafted from select old-vine vineyards to deliver intensity, perfume and regional character in a modern, expressive style. The nose is highly aromatic, showing raspberry, redcurrant and cherry, layered with notes of rose petal, dried herbs, spice and a touch of red licorice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with fine, grainy tannins and a vibrant, structured profile. Juicy red berry flavours are complemented by savoury undertones, spice and a subtle earthy complexity, supported by fresh acidity that drives a long, elegant and persistent finish. The style is refined yet powerful, offering purity of fruit, balance and excellent ageing potential.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout Grenache for customers seeking a premium, structured expression with both perfume and depth. Ideal for decanting and enjoying now or cellaring over the next 8–10 years. Perfect with lamb, roast meats, charcuterie or Mediterranean dishes.
