Cooter and Cooter Grenache 2017

Sourced from 72yo vines from Whites Valley, this captures the best of Australian wine: irreverent sophistication. Dry-grown and wild-fermented, with a 20% dollop of whole cluster for tonal rasp and an element of savour. Kirsch, sandalwood, dried herb and Turkish delight flavours. I would rather drink this over many an Aussie pinot with all that hangs on a hook in Chinatown. 95 points, Ned Goodwin, WineCompanion.com.au, August 2019
