Wes Pearson’s McLaren Vale Grenache single vineyard tour continues here, with a wine sourced from the Wait Vineyard at Blewitt Springs, with similar handling to the Smart Vineyard wine – old oak, low-touch winemaking. Still, this is a very different beast. Less opulent, with black jubes and rivers of boysenberry. Both single-block wines have Grenache charisma in droves, but this less obvious wine is my favourite.
