The ‘Vincent’ is Cirillo’s entry level wine and is made from some of the oldest Grenache plantings in the world with vines a mere 80 years young, (Meanwhile their top wine, the 1850 Old Vine, comes from the oldest vines with many over 160 years old!)

Its aroma is less overwhelmingly floral – instead it has a more savoury meatiness, with an underlying minerality and structure that begs to be examined. On the palate it shows the same sweet fruit but it finishes magnificently dry, with savoury spices, hints of cinnamon, clove and bitter cocoa. The tannins are small and grippy but incredibly smooth, and combined with and long, drawing acidity give it great length and a superb finish.

It is a phenomenal wine for under $30 and should be on everyone’s go-to list for lighter, complex, and dangerously moreish South Australian reds. (Clear and Sober Counsel)
