Details
Wow, you can see why this wine is getting such high reviews! Delicate 'amaro' spices that penetrate throughout the aromas and linger long on the palate. Among the complex spices are floral perfume notes of rose petal, strawberry and fennel seed. The palate is rich yet silky with fine-knit tannins, a bright acidity and a warming mineral finish. A super impressive and complex wine, even considering its youth. Damn delicious!
A passion for making top-notch wines has been running in the 'Whistler' family bloodstream for many generations — hopefully in addition to a healthy dose of their own wine's abv. It all started with a father-son endeavour between Albert Heinrich Pfeiffer and son, Hubert. Hubert then passed the passion to his son, Martin, and that's when we knew things were really rolling into good places. After 28 years with Penfolds, where he oversaw the world-famous ‘Grange’ vineyards, Martin decided to bring things back home and share the art of winemaking with his sons Josh and Sam in the Barossa. The two zealous young guns have a record of fabulous local wine gigs and international experience stretching as far as Canada! But more importantly, the brothers have a dialled-in commitment to handling their vineyards and wines as sustainably and natural as possible. So once Josh took over the vineyard, it didn’t take long before they transitioned to organic and biodynamic farming, and a hands-off approach to winemaking. The result? Quality cool-of-the-night harvested fruit, traditional small open concrete fermenters and bottling the wines with no fining and no filtration. That's an ode to the planet we can pour a glass to!

Pairing guide
You just can’t beat a Grenache when dinner time comes around, and with all that delicious juicy flavour and richness, Whistler’s offering definitely knows how to satisfy the senses. We always love pairing Grenache with roast chicken thighs, traditional stews like cassoulet and goulash, and with a deeply savoury mushroom stroganoff. However, it’s every bit as tasty with a ratatouille or chunky vegetable soup, and will even work nicely with butter chicken, tikka masala, or other rich-but-mild Indian curry!
