With access to high quality fruit and the expert advice of the district's great winemakers, Clos Clare are consistently delivering some of the Clare Valley's most impressive wines.
This 2019 Clos Clare The Hayes Boy Grenache is an Australian Grenache of the highest quality, following in the footsteps of recent vintages of this wine that have proved hugely popular. Bright crimson red in the glass, it offers an abundance of bright red fruits on the nose; raspberry and cherry, roses and spice. The medium-bodied palate is incredibly approachable, with soft red fruit flavours and a fine tannin structure. Well deserving of the high praise it's already drawn, this is a super value Clare Valley Grenache.
"93 Points. A fully destemmed parcel was blended with another duo: 10% and 20% whole-bunch respectively. The destemmed lot was extracted over the course of a month, or thereabouts. The oak, all neutral. The result is a conflation of chalky, pumice-clad tannins and bouncy red fruit, with the strongest accent on candied raspberry kirsch. Best drunk on the cooler side"- Ned Goodwin MW, Halliday Wine Companion 2021.
