The Pinot Noir & Grenache Thread

Another Skye Cellars deal:

Got an absolute cracking deal on a South Australian Grenache. This is well below retail and cheaper than the big flash-sale clearance sites.

  • The Wine: 2023 Penna Lane 'Side Track' Grenache
  • The Fruit: Sourced from a single, historic vineyard in Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale (globally regarded as the 'Grand Cru' sub-region for Aussie Grenache).
  • Vine Age: Exceptional heritage rootstock planted in 1930 (90+ year old vines!).
  • The Pedigree: While this is the 2023 release, the debut 2021 vintage scored a massive 94 points from Gary Walsh at The Wine Front.
  • Price: $162 per dozen ($13.50 a bottle) when you use the code below.
Market Comparison:

  • Winery Direct RRP: $210 per 6-pack ($35.00/btl)
  • Independent Retail (Regions Cellars): $190 per 6-pack on sale ($31.66/btl)
  • Vinomofo historical clearance (2022): ~$17.50/btl
Tasting Note:This isn't a heavy, jammy, over-extracted style. It’s highly perfumed, vibrant, and incredibly pretty. Expect a lifted nose of fresh strawberries, ripe raspberries, and cherry kirsch, backed by a light dusting of white pepper spice and ultra-fine, savory, sandy tannins. Drinks beautifully right now.

Nope, I am not employed nor do I even know who even owns Skye Cellars.

I post various deals from Skye, Dan's & overtime will post other retailers...but people here do a good job of posting before I do for the usual Celladoor, Cellarone deals etc
