Sleek, dainty and ridiculously pretty. This is Akira Grenache from In Praise of Shadows knows how to charm.
Unpretentious but unequivocally attractive, it bursts from the glass with red berries and raspberry rope, bringing brightness not just to the wine, but to the whole experience.
Red fruits waltz joyously across the palate, with a flicker of orange peel tucked in behind. Dainty, seductive spice adds another layer, while a fine rub of tannin gives the wine just enough grip to keep everything moving.
There’s an effortless shape to this Grenache. The fruit is beautifully defined, the texture wonderfully fine, and it’s hard to dispute the quality of what’s in the glass.
No need to overthink it. Pour a glass, recline, and let the world carry on without you.
This is living.
