The Wait Single Vineyard Grenache 2022 is sourced from the Top Bush block owned by the Wait family in the northeast corner of the Blewitt Springs area of McLaren Vale. Planted in the mid 1940’s, this block is dry grown and provides small berries with intense flavour and prominent tannin. The most structural and savoury wine in the range, brooding in character with earth and briary characters dominating the palate.
Deeply coloured with an intense purple hue. Savoury aromatics of turned earth, root vegetable, and dark cherry are subtle but have great depth. The palate is firm with a very savoury and slightly saline edge. Tannin is the most prominent of the three SV wines, it comes in waves and carries the savoury edge of the wine across the palate with great length. The longest palate of the three, this wine will stand up to a rich food pairing and will benefit with time in the cellar.

The Wine Advocate
Wow. This is sensational. Saturated red fruit frames the experience given by this 2022 Wait Single Site Grenache from Blewitt Springs. Succulent. I want to repeat the word, but I won't. It has notes of raspberries, redcurrants, pomegranates and red licorice. The tannins are meaty/bloody and savory but oh so fine, and they balance the pure red fruit so nicely. What an exciting wine—it's a wine I can appreciate and write about and observe, but ultimately, it's a wine I want to drink. Ripper. Highly/warmly/fervently recommended. 14.1% alcohol, sealed under wax and natural cork.
