- Tasting note
- The Holy Grail has a bouquet of smoke, dark plum, violets, coffee grind, glazed berries, liquorice, tar, sarsaparilla and incense. This is a big wine straight out the gate, it shows loads of concentrated fruits that are both energetic and powerful. As with all the top vintages from Holy Grail, this has the amazing ability to spring board into a soft natured wine. It starts out big but then changes gear and the finish comes across soft, fresh and lingering. It’s very tightly coiled up and it takes time in the decanter to start to see its inner energy and class emerge. The tannins are stony, with a lovely soft and lingering edge. They reverberate giving this wine excellent length, that slowly dissipates in the late palate.

- Vinification
- Several small parcels from the Holy Grail vineyard were destemmed into 5T stainless steel. Gently pumped over 2-3 times daily, these parcels were pressed after an average time on skins of 10 days. All free run and pressings were combined in tank and was then racked off to barrel, to go through malolactic fermentation. The wine was bottled with minimum fining and no filtration. Aged for 18 months in 1-4 year old French oak barrels.
