ABOUT THIS WINE
The Alkina Kin Grenache 2023 is a 100% Grenache red wine from the Barossa Valley, South Australia, produced by Alkina Wine Estate.

Alkina Wine Estate was founded in 2015 with a commitment to organic and biodynamic farming and a deep respect for nature. The 'Kin' series represents wines that are approachable and reflect the estate's ethos. The 2023 vintage was a cooler, wetter season, which influenced the wine's elegance and tannin structure.
