{"product_id":"2022-john-duval-annexus-grenache","title":"2022 John Duval Annexus Grenache","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn Duval’s take on Grenache has always been quietly impressive, but the Annexus takes things to another level. Made only in standout vintages, this is a small-volume wine from seriously old vines - some planted over 160 years ago in Eden Valley’s Stonegarden vineyard. The fruit is exceptional, and Duval’s light hand in the winery lets it speak clearly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2022 season was cool and even, which helped the fruit ripen slowly and evenly, preserving perfume and freshness. Fermented in small open-top fermenters, with a bit of whole bunch for lift and savoury edge, then aged in seasoned oak to keep the focus on fruit and structure. It’s fine, quietly complex Grenache - far from the jammy end of the spectrum - and all the better for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly 300 cases were made, so it’s not going to hang around for long. This is the kind of Barossa Grenache that shows just how graceful and detailed the variety can be in the right hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Red cherry, red plum and raspberry with transitory tones of exotic spice, pressed wildflowers, and gentle wood spice… Harmonious and complex with a gorgeous red fruit profile and a savoury finish that glides away slowly.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Dave Brookes (Halliday Wine Companion)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e96 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Understated meaty and spicy aromas with a dark cherry undertone… Fabulous focus and energy in a seamless and understated package… Exceptional density of fruit that drives a long, seamless finish.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Angus Hughson (Vinous)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95+ points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Dried mint, raspberry pip, star anise and pomegranate molasses… Elegant and detailed; it flows seamlessly across the palate and speaks of chinotto and blood orange.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Erin Larkin (The Wine Advocate)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"John Duval","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56141648560500,"sku":"wxq1789956045993","price":30.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/5613\/8100\/files\/2022-john-duval-annexus-grenache_1.png?v=1789956049","url":"https:\/\/petcameramon.shop\/products\/2022-john-duval-annexus-grenache","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
