Naked Run Wines The Aldo Grenache 2020
- Textured, savoury
- Barossa
‘The Aldo’. What a great name for a wine, and what a great wine for that name. Aldo has worked his entire life amongst the vines in a small vineyard of Barossa. We’re talking vines that really speak of the region: old, gnarly, and for the most part untamed. And that mofo, is where this wine has its roots. Literally. Grenache from this vineyard shows off exceptional depth on the nose and palate, with notes of wild plum and cherry, tangy raspberries and candied strawberries. You can thank Aldo (and the team at Naked Run Wines) for this one.

Region
Barossa
Confusingly, the Barossa Zone (aka 'Barossa') encompasses the Eden and Barossa Valley regions (the word 'Valley' being the key differentiator). If you don't want all your eggs in one basket, or all your shiraz from one region, this is one solid way to get some complexity of layers (of course, it's not all about shiraz - ha! Yes it is). Despite being about the same area, Eden Valley only has about 20% of the area under vine that its more famous neighbour manages. But it's no surprise that you'll find many of the big and boutique players sourcing their most expensive wines from a little higher than the Barossa Valley floor. So if you see a wine labelled as 'Barossa', you might just be looking at something that extra bit special.
