Retail listings note critic scores: Robert Parker listing 90 pts and Wine Wolf 4/5; 2019 vintage received 94 pts (Nicks) — included for context

Tasting Note
Perfumed red raspberry and cherry with red‑liquorice, spice and floral lift; notes of dried herbs and savoury chestnut. Bright acidity, fine tannins and medium body give a fresh, savoury finish.

Food Pairing
Western: roast lamb, grilled pork, charcuterie, tomato‑based pasta, pizza; Asian: Peking duck, char siu, Korean BBQ, yakitori, mildly spicy Thai or Malaysian dishes.

Production Method
Native (natural) ferments, minimal handling; matured in large-format old oak (puncheons/foudre) with little or no new oak and minimal movement prior to bottling

Vineyard Info
The Story Wines (founded by Rory Lane) is a small independent Melbourne label sourcing Grenache from Grampians sites (Arrawatta, Moyston/Great Western). Focus on site expression, low-intervention winemaking and old‑oak maturation.
