This vertical of High Sands Grenache spans 2010–2024 and shows every vintage in that
time. In the glass, the wines are essentially the same in color, however the older wines
display more density and opaqueness. So here, this 2010 Grenache High Sands is 15 years
from its harvest today, and the wine leads with roasted meat, exotic spices, resinous dark
notes, dark chocolate and autumn leaves. The wine has moved into an eminently elegant
space, despite not wanting for power and concentration. This is a beautiful wine, one that
will be drinking well for decades to come.

The 2011 Grenache High Sands was grown in a very wet, cold vintage. And while much of
South Australia was tarred with the same brush—one that dismissed the quality of the
wines made irrespective of viticulture and variety—the Grenache wines from McLaren Vale
performed really rather well, as this wine indicates. It is lighter in fruit weight on the palate,
but it is complex and fresh and marks a shift in thinking in the Grenache realm for
winemaker Pete Fraser.

The 2017 vintage was wet and cool, and this 2017 Roux Beaute Roussanne is spicy and a
little minty—sweetmint—with beeswax, fennel, white rose, white chocolate and caper
brine. It's a beautiful wine, and having enjoyed a few glasses of the 2015 Roux Beaute
Roussanne last night, this is right in the zone. This has a long life ahead of it, but potentially
not as long as the 2015!
