A good friend provided one of Jasper Hill’s recent newly introduced wine variety, the “Cornella Vineyard” Grenache. Jasper Hill is a well-known Heathcote wine icon that has put the region on the wine map along with many other wineries up there, with its famous Georgia and Emily’s Paddock attempting to emulate the great Shiraz that Heathcote region is well known for.
Appearance: Deep medium-ruby coloured wine.
Nose: As soon as wine is opened, there is a lovely perfumed aroma on the nose, with fragrance dominated by hints of raspberry and plum.
Palate: Fresh but a strong wine that is fruit driven and juicy. Drink can be grippy and slightly imposing with lots of power given its dry tannic structure and high alcohol content, although it doesn’t overwhelm the palate. The after-taste fade with hints of sweetness/fruitiness left coating the mouth and lips. Good finish and length.

Summary: A full-bodied wine that is powerful though balanced with characteristics typical of the Heathcote region.
Overall: "Very Good – Enjoyed the unabashed fruitiness of this wine" - 7 / 10
