Barr-Eden Love Over Gold Grenache 2020

Our Verdict

"A new addition to the range, the 2019 Love Over Gold Grenache was produced in extremely limited quantities (one barrique, 25 cases) from vines planted in 1997 at 525 meters above sea level— believed to be some of the highest Grenache vines in South Australia. It's a cloudy medium-ruby hue in the glass, with elusive aromas of strawberries, thyme, bay leaf and raspberries—a juicy, mouthwatering bookend of red berries. Despite weighing in at more than 15% alcohol, it comes across as medium-bodied and almost lacy in texture, !nishing taut and wiry yet seductive and generous, the sort of paradoxical juxtaposition that's especially intriguing. As this is the first vintage, I've been conservative with the drinking window (2021 - 2030), but it could surprise and drink well beyond that." 94 Points, Joe Czerwinksi, The Wine Advocate
