VANGUARDIST OENO GRENACHE 2023

Style: Savoury & Detailed

As with many great stories, Vanguardist was born of humble beginnings. Ideals, harmonised over a table littered with empty bottles. Laughs that rolled late into the evening, not realising the impetus forming, a relentless fire in the belly that sent Michael bouncing across the equator, chasing international harvests for most of his adult life. While its first release surfaced in the Hunter Valley, the label launched in South Australia in 2014, with two painstakingly crafted, single vineyard expressions. Two wines made from what Michael deemed to be the best varieties, grown in the best soils in the best sub regions the state had to offer. Herein lies the V obsession: an unwavering temperament that now finds Vanguardist wines in the countries most relevant independent bottle stores, bars, and in the secret arsenals of many a fine tuned Sommelier.

Oeno derives from both the Evening Primrose (Oenothera Biennis) found in this vineyard, combined with the science dedicated to the study and knowledge of wines, Oenology. The vineyard boasts an altitude exceeding 200m above sea level. The top soil is pure sand, with clay and red ironstone pockets below the surface. VANGUARDIST
