Bulman Wines Glen's Vineyard Grenache 2025

"Blood orange and freshly cut rhubarb. Whole bunch and carbonic contributions immediately differentiate Glen from Gary. Late summer afternoon negronis, stirred with a rusty spoon. Again, there’s nervous tension within the wine. It’s tucked within the flow of ferrous notes and amaro. Fruit flavours are uncharacteristically (for the Barossa) circumspect. Layers of green cardamon pod, dried vanilla bean, white pepper, tiny wild Baltic strawberries, arugula and concrete dust weave their way through the vinous counterpoint. Sensual fine tannins assert themselves as the wine opens up, building in persistence and indicating a structure that will enjoy a decade of cellaring."  – Grant Dickson
