Details
The joy of Barossa Grenache is unmistakable with this Red Embers red. It's just so bright and lively! Jason Schwarz used grapes from two different ends of the Barossa (north and centre) to give this medium-bodied delight some extra layers. The flavours here are all red fruits, with raspberry, strawberry and red plums, with this silky palate of effortless flavour. A charming Barossan red!

It's not every day we get to team up with an award-winning pioneer of South Australian wines to make something undeniably unique and elegant, but luckily for your taste buds and ours, we did! This Red Embers wine is a collaboration between Good Pair Days and Jason Schwarz from his eponymous winery in the Barossa Valley. Jason Schwarz was doomed to be a winemaker from his childhood. Ensconced in the vineyards of South Australia, in particular Bethany in the Barossa Valley, his parents had provided the suitable environment from the very beginning. After finishing his winemaking degree, he set off to see the world and completed vintages in France, the USA and Argentina, before returning home and starting his own label in 2001. Starting off with only a two barrels of Barossa Shiraz in the first year, he followed this with a similar amount of Grenache the next. The Grenache is still made every year and is a fixture in his offerings. Which is why we're so excited to showcase this special offering!

Pairing guide
Red Embers has done a fantastic job of capturing the beautiful characteristics of their Grenache grapes, delivering a bottle which is irresistibly juicy and ideal for food-pairing. It’s going to match especially well with dishes making fine use of grilled chicken thighs, pork belly, lamb chops or leg, or slow-cooked tomatoes and red capsicum. Tomato-based pasta or curry sauces, offal like chicken or lamb’s liver, rich bean stews and bitter greens like broccoli and kale will also provide superb pairing possibilities.
