Darroze 1998 Martin BA 48.6% 200ml brewer-clifton Hand-picked from 80 year old

Hand-picked from 80 year old Grenache bush vines at Leasingham in the Clare Valley

With an average age of over 25 years this wine shows the superb balance of wood aged 'rancio' characters and rich luscious flavours that make it an exquisite drinking experience

The domaine then favours a partial malolactic fermentation before maturing for 10 months in large casks on fine lees

such as field flowers and citrus are supported by savoury characteristics on the palate

Go for a saucy Osso Bucco or something equally rich

The nose is very fruity, complex, with flavors like ripe quince, dry fig, orange jam, spices (vanilla and cinnamon) et verbena infusion. In the palate, we feel again the fruity character. Some tannins, still young but silky, are taking along the brandy. Long in the palate.
