Sutherland Grenache Reserve 2016
An assembly of roses and ripe raspberries welcomes you in the glass with subtle cinnamon and nutmeg notes. Fine ripe tannins leads to an elegant acidity that creates a reserved, linear wine.
Maturation
Potential to develop beautifully over the next 8 years.
Food Pairing
A true soulmate to Melanzana Parmigiana.
