Description Grenache is becoming more and more popular – and one taste of these vibrant, red-jewelled Grenache beauties shows why. They’re so lovely that some winemakers broadcast their deliciousness on the label. Thistledown calls theirs ‘Gorgeous’ and Tscharke ‘A Thing of Beauty’. They both come from McLaren Vale, and they really do live up to their names. More Grenache beauty can be found in the lovely Franca’s Vineyard Grenache, and the Sevenhills Cellars Estate Grown Inigo Grenache is positively spiritual! Allegiance Wines and Curtis take top fruit from across South Australia to make their power-packed, awarded drops that impress with their intensity. This is a wonderful dozen – enjoy.
Tscharke’s aptly named Grenache could have been made by fairies: pretty aromas of rose petals, cherries and ripe strawberries lift from the glass, complemented by savoury hints. Complexity, finesse and power.
The Curtis family have been growning grapes and making wine in McLaren Vale since 1973. Their Heritage label may be a nod to the past, but stylistically, this Grenache is modern, fresh and highly enjoyable.
A luscious old-vine, small-batch Grenache. Dry grown bush vines come together to create a wine which is aromatic and lifted on the nose with a beautifully layered, textural palate with wild strawberry and spice.
Come savour pure, delicious 91pt Sevenhill Inigo Grenache from vines planted in the 1920s, without a hint of oak. Fresh aromas of strawberries, raspberries, cherries and a nice of cinnamon draw you in...
Alex Russell is turning out some exceptional wines under his Russell & Suitor label. The reds are juicy, delicious and quite moreish, much like the Franca's Vineyard Grenache.
Selected from a single vineyard located at New Residence in the Riverland. Planted in 1998, the Grenache is both concentrated and vibrant. A bouquet of lifted strawberry leads you to a medium-bodied expression of fresh cherry and raspberry.
