RESILIENCE, that's what is required in the COVIN-19 world and this zingy vegan-friendly Barossa Valley grenache will ease lingering lockdown tedium. With 14.5% alcohol, it's ruby red and berry pastille-scented. The front palate has spicy blackberry flavour and the middle palate bramble jelly, licorice, capers and cedary oak. Ferric tannins show at the finish. It is at stjohnsroad.com, wineselectors.com.au and Dan Murphy's and other bottle shops. Drink with veal saltimbocca and cellar for three years. The St John's Road, Hesketh, Vickery, Parker Coonawarra and Ox Hardy brand wines are made at the WD winery at Nuriootpa by Andrew "Ox" Hardy, James Lienert and Keeda Zilm. WD Wines is headed by 23-year wine industry veteran Jonathon Hesketh.
