Jules Provence Rose 2023
$20.00A blend of Grenache, Cinsault and Syrah, the exact proportions closely guarded, this delivers exactly what we’ve come to expect from this wine. The consistent elements of Redskin lolly are there, with strawberries, cream, some bittering grapefruit rind balance, a brush of garrigue herbs, all wrapped up in a slightly oily, generous texture. Vintage 2023 […]

Paralian Marmont Vineyard Grenache 2022
$45.00Sumptuous grenache. Just because it’s grown on sand doesn’t mean it has to be light, or pretty, or boney, or cliche of all cliches, have sandy tannins. It is pretty and the tannins are ‘pumicey’ and grainy, but this Paralian grenache always has power, weight, density and a savouriness, harmonising the sweet fruit. The fruit […]

Vanguardist Grenache 2023
$70.00“Vanguardist-farmed Rende vineyard bush vines, around 55 years old; 60% whole bunch, with about seven weeks on skins; matured in 2200L Slavonian oak. The cool vintage has its say. Refined, fragrant and elegant, but savoury and spicy, too. Distinct nebbiolo/nerello mascalese riffs, more the latter – an increasing theme at this address. Dried cranberry and […]

Domaine de Ferrand Vieilles Vignes 2022
$45.0090% Grenache with Syrah/Mourvèdre/Cinsault. Planted in the 1920’s The 2022 Côtes Du Rhône ‘Vieilles Vignes’ which is from very old vines (important with Grenache) literally across the border of the Châteauneuf du Pâpe AOP is by far the best example of this wine that I have seen, like his CNDP above. This is from a […]

Swinney Grenache 2023
$44.00Beautiful lifted fragrance of lavender, sarsaparilla, cola, sweet cherry, potpourri and blackberry. The finest and most ethereal release ever of this wine, yet utterly different from the pinot-esque examples emanating from McLaren Vale. Silky flow, framed by deft tannins; the sweet red summer fruits counter-pointed by savoury soy and autumn compost. Very long, drawn out […]

Sadie Family Citrusdal Mountain Soldaat 2023
$165.00“A red wine that has done great things for the reputation of Grenache in Piekenierskloof, this comes from Bielie and Erasmus van Zyl’s farm and is Eben Sadie‘s version of a Gredos red. Grown on Table Mountain sandstone, it has layers of pomegranate and redcurrant, savoury tannins, very subtle oak and ethereal, seductively floral aromas. A […]

Tim Smith MGS 2022
$28.00The power of blends is clearly evident and this was for me my favorite wine in the Tim Smith line up. The different grapes have complemented each other beautifully. Rich, juicy, hedonistic, fragrant and savory, the Mataro adding smoke, compost and firm, grippy tannins. Controlled power, the shiraz still comes through strongly, a mass of […]

Thistledown Thorny Devil Grenache 2023
$35.00From several districts, off old, dry-grown bush vines. The ferments are all nuanced, but all are wild, and there is always some whole bunch; maturation for eight months in old French oak. Pale in hue and pretty in fragrance, such is the vintage. Flavours skip through cranberry, wild raspberry, pomegranate and rose, with white pepper […]

Saltfleet Grenache 2022
$40.00Saltfleet’s Grenache is a more generous style. Stunning aromatics of English summer fruits, Middle Eastern spices, milk chocolate, cola, compost and campfire. Rich and generous, really mouth filling, but not heavy. Lovely fleshy fruit and mid palate pulp, all wrapped up in rich tannins and bright acidity. Utterly gorgeous drinking. Waters Wine Co “Sourced […]

Frederick Stevenson Grenache 2022
$36.00Awesome Barossa grenache, so different from almost all other iterations. Compote of sweet red fruits, orange peel, compost, alpine herbs and sweet spice. Curvy, full of energy and with a sense of lightness despite the rich flavours. Firm, squeezed tannins, savoury, providing lovely tension to the sweet fruit. Waters Wine Co 94 Points – […]

Vinya Vella Grenache 2022
$65.00Tasted alongside the superb, burly 2021, the differences of vintage plain to see. Beautiful aromas, indeed, more lifted than the 21 with sweet and savoury spices, lavender, violets and a compote of sweet and tangy red, black and briary fruits. Medium to full boded with a lovely poised silken flow, the whole bunch tannin guiding […]

Gentle Folk Village Grenache 2022
$45.00An incredible infusion of red fruits, potpourri, savoury and sweet spice. Medium bodied, in a way, as the palate seems to add greater depth and size. Rich and flavoursome, slick and silky with a lovely squeeze of tannin on the close. Elegant, pretty and more serpentine than most McLaren Vale Grenache’s, pinot-esque and fine boned […]

Swinney Grenache 2021
$42.00A higher level of refinement has crept into the 2021’s, compared to the sleek, puckering wines of 2020. Pretty aromatics of jubey red fruits, tangy hedge fruits and brooding black fruits. Pure, flecked with flowers, ironstone and spice. The fruits are very complex, light and dark, sweet and tangy. The shape and mouthfeel are gentler, […]

Tim Smith Barossa Grenache 2022
$38.00It’s all about McLaren Vale Grenache at the moment, but the Barossa Valley should not be overlooked and Tim Smith’s iteration is one of the best, if not the best value from the entire valley. Incredible aromatics with a compote of English summer red fruits, blueberry, some blackcurrant. sweet spices and an almost Nebbiolo sensibility […]

Bulman Grenache Rose 2024
$28.00Out of Stock
My absolute favourite grenache producer in Australia, demolishing all cliches and stereotypes of South Australian grenache and red wines in general. It’s hard to believe that he (Mark Bulman) used to make Turkey Flat rose, the wines are so different. Pale in colour, refreshing, crisp and dry. Red summer fruits, sweet and tangy, with a […]

Stonegarden Northwest Grenache 2021
$65.00From vines planted in 1858 and 1854. This is really something, framed by cashmere tannins that run long, from beginning to end.

Fresh and vibrant, very fine, with soft bones of structure and vivid red fruits on […]

Stonegarden Field Blend Grenache 2020
$65.00Richer, deeper and burlier than the straight Grenache. 85% of this blend is Grenache, with the difference made up of Mataro, Shiraz, Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. This is from a warmer part of the vineyard, with heavier soils and the fruit is correspondingly darker. Rounder in shape, wilder, with more exotic notes of cocoa, smoke, […]

MMAD Grenache 2022
$75.00Unusually for a Grenache the 2022 Mmad evolved and transformed itself so much over the 3 or so hours we tried. Floral with violets and geraniums, earthy notes, pine nettles, red fruit compote, milk chocolate, creaming soda, sage, mint and blacker fruits becoming more apparent the longer it’s open. What started out as a little […]

Bondar Rayner Vineyard Grenache 2024
$38.00The most high toned and ethereal of the Bondar grenache’s, yet with the succulent oomph and juicy power of McLaren Vale. Lifted red fruits, fresh flowers, fresh herbs, woody notes and pink peppercorns. Medium bodied, intensely fruited, but without the weight of the other wines. Angular and perky, the tannins finessed. Beautiful, almost haunting. Norris […]

Bondar Hope Springs Eternal Grenache 2023
$74.00Phenomenally complex with tar, English summer fruits, blackcurrant, sweet and savoury spice, cola, blood orange and mixed flowers. It’s very expressive from the aromatics to the finish, the palate, succulent and silky, yet the tannins authoritative. Such a serious grenache, without the loss of sensuality. Long, long, long.
