Lucy M. Mencia y Garnacha 2024 (12 Bottles) Adelaide Hills, SA

Lucy M.'s Mencia y Garnacha 2024 from Anton Kroper in Adelaide Hills surges with wild Spanish energy, blending young Mencia from Balhannah's red clays and 30-year-old Garnacha from Jupiter Creek that pulse with tart vitality. This zero-sulphur rocket, carbonically macerated then terracotta-aged, explodes with naked freshness from Australia's natural frontier. Tart cherry and pomegranate aromas burst with red currant zing and mulberry snap, plunging into a juicy light-bodied palate of sharp acid and sappy tannins that electrifies chilled sips.
