Barossa Grenache that’s turned all the way up and pours with fanning tannins and pepper that comes kicking, but not screaming. There’s more though – like sweet cherry, sarsaparilla and some sage and green herb flavours.

Thistledown Shes Electric Grenache 2023

Brini is someone we want to soak up every minute with its light pomegranate and early season strawberries and rosy hue. Don’t think it’s all fruit though because there’s a little fanning of peppercorn that comes through to add some oomph, and make it appropriate with light meats and anticipated meetups.

Lauren Langfield Brini Grenache 2023

Think strawberries, but with some savoury sage and soft tannins to keep it all light and refreshing, but the structure’s there so every sip will invite a little thought, as well as tasty enjoyment.

Tim Smith Bugalugs Grenache 2022

Lifted and aromatic on the nose before a layered and textural palate with fleshy raspberry, wild strawberry, and spice while remaining a fresher expression of the variety.

Thistledown Gorgeous Grenache 2022

Sourced from both family-owned and grower vineyards throughout the Barossa, including some that are the oldest in the region, this Grenache shows a real sense of place. In the glass, ripe strawberry and raspberry coulis are complemented by a little sage, saltbush and some lovely sandy tannins tightening it up before the nice and savoury finish.

Corryton Burge Grenache 2022

Delicately styled Grenache from McLaren Vale's Blewitt Springs, brimming with a heady perfume of lifted lavender and strawberries. While fruits feel delicate there is a nice firm structure to the wine, along with some red liquorice notes, light mineral salinity, and the beautiful upstanding cat's tongue tannins.

Rouleur Grenache 2022

Their wines always represent great value and a loved-by-all quality. This GSM pours a deep, crimson colour and is vibrant with dark red fruits and some good savoury spices. The tannins are plush and add a little length which we’re obviously all for, because we can’t get enough SoE.

Sons of Eden Kennedy Grenache 2022

We’re mid-way into the AFL season and this feels like an armchair expert’s ‘knowledge juice’, complete with the obvious juiciness upfront, and contemplation on the back.

## ABOUT GRENACHE
This highly versatile variety is heavily championed in France, where it is widely grown throughout Provence, Languedoc-Rousillon and, most famously, the Rhône Valley. Its origins, however, lie in Spain, where it is known as Garnacha (or Garnatxa). 
Grenache often produces wines with a heady perfume of juicy raspberries and cherries, along with spicy hints of anise, cinnamon and sometimes even chocolate. When made as a red wine, it generally has a medium body with soft tannins and moderate acidity.

Grenache is often used as a blending component in French appellations such as Côtes du Rhône, where it is blended with other varieties such as Shiraz/Syrah and Mourvèdre to produce a more robust and rounded wine. It is also frequently used in the region of Provence to make rosé, where it is similarly blended with other varieties to enhance its perfume and texture. Grenache is more commonly found as a single-varietal wine in younger wine-producing countries such as America and, yes, Australia! McLaren Vale has long been a stronghold region for Grenache in Australia, though it is also widely grown throughout the Barossa Valley.
