It’s bloody McLaren Vale G. Mascarello. I can’t believe what I’m tasting
Gary Walsh
The Wine Front
“Michael Corbett is a brilliant, belligerent barrel of a man who deploys the full force of his high octane obsessiveness in the pursuit of great Grenache. From the same vineyard as his rare and feverishly collected Rende bottling, this wine (23 Botanic Oeno) shares a similar aromatic lift and red berried liveliness. There’s an alluring smidge of ribbed herb coming from a healthy percentage of whole bunches in the ferment, too. Grenache Yoda does it again.”

Is it the best Australian Grenache? I think maybe so. Superb

The Wine Front
The winemaking intelligence behind this wine is both awesome and inspiring.
The Wine Experience
This is among the very finest iterations of this great variety (Mourvedre) in the country, if not the finest.
NED GOODWIN MW
Succulence, flavour of fruit, hauntingly beautiful tannins. Epic wine.

'.....now the world watches on, waiting (and clambering) for every new release that comes from the Corbett stables, from Grenache, to Mourvedre, to Syrah. To us, the wines are as utterly convincing as ever, with the Grenache standing tall as a high-water mark for the variety in the country'.
The Wine COLLECTIVE
(Rende) Potentially one of Australia's greatest-ever Grenache releases.
Different Drop
This address is now at the top of the stylistic totem pole and one of the few true regional benchmarks.
