Score: WA97
As you step up the Polygons, you seem to step up in intensity of flavor. Here, the 2022 Ex Libris Polygon 5 Grenache is not only deeper in color than the previous two wines on the table, but it is also more aromatically concentrated. That same black cherry/pomegranate molasses/black tea melange exists at its core, however there is also black pudding, pastrami, cracked pink peppercorns, damp undergrowth/forest leaf matter, sandalwood and scratched orange peel. It’s really good. The tannins are gritty but fine—they’re the highlight for me. They almost insists that you chew a little. This is an excellent wine. Very long.

“ALKINA” is an Indigenous Australian girl’s name meaning “Moon” or “Moonlight”. This name embodies the respect for the land and the many forces of nature that the estate works with to bring life, energy and authenticity to their wines. Ancient stones and soils, organic and biodynamic viticulture, small scale winemaking and the creation of unique micro-terroir wines, grown and made on the estate in the Western Barossa ranges of the Barossa Valley. The wines are certified organic and biodynamic. They focus on the heritage varieties that have found their natural home in the region, from vines dating back to the 1950’s. Alkina only uses indigenous yeast for ferments, and high levels of whole bunches are used in ferments, which helps to express character, as well as build complexity and savoury interest. The Polygons are the pinnacle of the range, that represent different micro ‘Grand Cru’ terroirs within their vineyards. These are available in extremely limited quantities. |
