About this wine
Alkina Polygon 5 Barossa Valley Grenache
The fruit for the Polygon 5 Grenache is sourced from vines planted on deeper, more schistous soils with rivets of iron-rich clay. Biodynamic, of course. Raspberry bon bon, pepper grind, lavender and thyme, as if an expression of a unique version of Australian garrigue. The tannins, burlier here, are swabbed with tapenade as they expand with air. For comparison’s sake, this is akin to a Châteauneuf on galets, rather than one on sand. A powerful wine juxtaposed against an uncanny lightness of being.

Dave Brookes
Certified organic and biodynamic grenache from Alkina Wines' Polygon 5, a subplot of micaceous schist over veins of iron-rich clay. Whole bunches (100%), matured in one 500L concrete cylinder for nine months. Phwoar! This is a beauty. A little more wild-eyed than its Polygon No. 3 sibling, with savoury dark cherries and red plums intertwined with ironstone, souk-like spices, pressed flowers, gingerbread, cola, white blossom, pomegranate and dried raspberries. Supple, svelte and sinewy with a nervous, vital disposition and a fine, graceful exit bathed in red-fruits, compact fine tannin and spice. Superb!
