[SOLD-OUT] Torbreck Les Amis Grenache 2009

'"Purity, intensity and finesse – Les Amis is a testament to the persistence of our expert, multi-generational, grape growers and what the greatest terroirs can impart.

Grenache has been a stalwart variety of the Barossa for more than 150 years, ideally suited to the Mediterranean climate and ancient soils.

Sourced from the devigorated soils of western Greenock, the concentration, poise and elegance of this single vineyard Grenache is perfectly balanced and characteristic of this unique terroir.

Les Amis translates from the French as The Friends."

"This unique parcel of Grenache, sourced from an old vineyard, has successfully endured eighteen months maturation in new French barrique.

Sourced from the devigorated soils of western Seppeltsfield, Les Amis is a testament to what only the most fastidious farming can achieve~ purity, intensity and finesse. Possessing a dense, saturated ruby/purple hue the Les Amis flaunts the concentration, poise and panache of which only the greatest terroirs are gifted.

Delicate scents of Chinese five spice, smoke, white flowers and roasted herbs precede a dense, brooding core of black cherry, coal and scorched earth. The well delineated palate offers tremendous texture and combines glorious fruit purity with subtle nuances. Multi-dimensional and incredibly intricate, the wine finishes with crisp acids and a cloak of beautifully ripe, polished tannins. Revealing a savoury elegance in its youth, the Les Amis will continue to build in complexity for many years to come."
