Aerope represents the very best Grenache parcels crafted each vintage Aerope, literally translated is ‘Lover of Ares’. In Greek Mythology Aerope, in was a mortal princess loved by Ares. She bore him a son called Aeropos but sadly died in childbirth. According to legend, Ares willed Aerope’s dead body to produce an abundance of breastmilk to ensure Ares’ son lived. Tasting Notes written by Two Hands Proprietor Michael Twelftree “Deep concentrated purple. A warm and interesting aromatic profile hits you, glazed plums, tar, liquorice, honey, warm oil, creosote, dark chocolate, plum conserve, fresh mint and hand cut leather start the aromatic profile. The palate starts out thick and luscious but finishes surprisingly light on its feet. This is at the extreme of the powerband but it holds its shape throughout admiralty. The purity here is quite remarkable as this is the essence of Grenache. This flavour profile is deep with very dark fruits with loads of persistence. What I love here is that with all that concentration, you don’t see any heat on the finish. The tannins have a long sandalwood edge and are drying right to the end of the distinct and long finish. This is a very impressive Grenache, be it not for the faint hearted. I feel this will age very well as all the components are wound up very tightly in its youth.”
