Once the red-headed stepchild of Aussie wine, it is now very much flavour of the month. Incredibly versatile, it is showing us just what it can do when treated with the respect it deserves. The colour here is a pale garnet. The nose offers notes of strawberries, red cherries, spices, a touch of earth and raspberries. This is fresh and youthful and gives us a wine of focus and balance with juicy acidity and a lingering finish with impressive persistence. A really good Grenache.

Attractive buoyant palate with redcurrent, strawberry, cola fruits, fine chalky textures and classical mid-palate viscosity. Minerally finish. A cool and evocative expression. Drink now– 2032
