Ochota Barrels Fugazi Grenache 2024

Violets and some tumbling true-to-Cab Franc greenery that’s kept red, in flavour, with wild plums – skins and all! Has all the Lofi jubey feels and can use a little chill to cool down that slow roast lamb you woke up at 7am to prep and put on.

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

Perfect with lamb shoulder, beef ribs, veggie kabobs and almost anything else you can grill. A great gift for the host and one that’s not quite fancy enough for them to harbour so you’ll get more than a glass if you keep close.

Koomilya SC Pannell Tempranillo Touriga 2019

The idea is to let the Grenache grapes do the talking with minimal use of sulphur and no filtration, and what comes through is a real textural delight with vibrant florals, ripe raspberry and a lick of sandalwood and some rhubarb.

SC Pannell Basso Grenache 2021

Pure berry conserve and punnets of raspberry delight the palate with hints of orange and chinotto and some lovely lightly bitter, ashy tannin to finish. With all its super pretty nuova Siciliana vibes, your friends will thank you while you pour them a glass, but they’ll love (even more) after they finish their glass.

Rouleur Nero d' Avola 2023

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

This vintage of Old MacDonald Grenache is bright with raspberry coulis, red and black fruit, and a smidge of Middle Eastern Spice. One for now or later and a great way to introduce those lighter-red-drinkers you love into something a little bolder.

SC Pannell Old Macdonald Single Vineyard Grenache 2021

Who says you need people to enjoy red florals, cooling herbs and some earthy spice and who says you need to listen to a label? I actually like to bring delicious bottles like this to social events and then not share any, you might think that’s a little cold and weird – you’re right btw – but the joy the wine gives me makes me more pleasant to be around, and brings out a certain humour and charm.

Bondar Junto GSM 2022

This ain't your typical McLaren Vale Shiraz—this one's full of jubey red berries, with familiar warming oak spice and endlessly delicious baked plum notes. A very approachable bottle if you're looking to explore the variety within the context of McLaren Vale!

Mr Smith Shiraz 2021

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

It’s a wine to bring when you know nothing about the people or what you’re eating/doing, and even if you’re not going to have an amazing time, you’ll be happily drinking lovely Rosé that goes well with an array of cheeses and conversations.
