Ochota Barrels “The Green Room” Grenache, McLaren Vale, South Australia 2024

Named among the Top 100 Wineries globally by Wine and Spirits Magazine in 2016, this cult Australian winery creates extremely limited productions that disappear from shelves almost instantly. This wine in particular is a light and dreamy, low alcohol version of 82 year old Grenache, capturing McLaren Vale's sunbaked character in a surprisingly weightless form. This reveals Grenache's overlooked elegant side—all bright red fruits and subtle spice  "Transparently light in appearance. The nose has perfumed aromas of crushed strawberries, orange peel and graphite. The palate has bright acidity and crunchy tannins, with gentle flavors of raspberries and dried herbs. Vibrant and fresh with a savory edge. Made from vines planted in 1946. Drink or hold. Screw cap.” — 93 Points, James Suckling   Varieties: Grenache Region: McLaren Vale, South Australia from a single vineyard Volume: 750ml Alcohol: 11.6% ABV Farming Practice: Certified Organic Sulfur: 80 ppm Soil Type: Red loamy cla
