Darryl Catlin earned his pocket money by picking bush vine grenache in his parent’s vineyards, so it is safe to say his future within the vineyard has been written. He spent over a decade at Shaw & Smith before establishing Catlin wines.

Showing some earthy, leathery development alongside a lovely core of sweet forest berries, plums, fresh herbs and a little dusty tannin. Nice to see this shed some of its fruity richness.
