Tasting Notes<br />
Grenache has a long history in Australia.<br />
Widely planted in the Mediterranean regions<br />
of Spain and southern France, Grenache<br />
thrives in warm, dry conditions. Suited<br />
perfectly to McLaren Vale and the Barossa<br />
Valley, Grenache plantings were thriving by<br />
the mid 1800’s. These regions are home to<br />
the oldest Grenache vines in the world today.<br />
As we move away from rich, dense, sweet<br />
fruited reds and toward more nuanced,<br />
elegant wines of freshness and balance,<br />
Grenache is poised to take centre stage.<br />
Often referred to as ‘Barossa Pinot’, today’s<br />
Grenache is vibrant, drinkable and exactly<br />
what your customers are looking for.<br />
