2023 Orr Wines ‘Royal Slope’ Grenache- The 2023 ‘Royal Slope’ Grenache is soft, approachable and mineral-laden on the tongue. Gorgeous red fruits mingle well with red rose water, Mandarin orange zest and shades of salty soils on the palate. Really delicious and dense with a refined mouthfeel, enjoy now and over the next decade. Drink 2025-2035- 93 points Owen Bargreen
2023 Orr Wines ‘Royal Slope’ Grenache- The 2023 Orr Royal Slope Grenache delivers a graceful yet layered expression, marked by its balance of fruit and earth. Aromas of wild strawberry, pomegranate, and dried hibiscus drift upward, framed by subtle citrus peel and stony undertones. On the palate, it glides with supple textures, weaving together red cherry, blood orange, and hints of a savory mineral character. The finish is elegant and long-lasting. 93 points International Wine Report
