Details
Lovely aromas of wild strawberry, red plum, and baking spice lead the way here, and carry onto a core of juicy red fruit and warm pepper. Soft tannins and lively acidity are woven with hints of dried herb and citrus zest. A supple, inviting finish with a whisper of earth rounds out this expressive Grenache.

Pairing guide
Juicy and vibrant, this Grenache loves bold, flavour-packed food and relaxed dining. Fire up the barbecue for lamb chops, pork sausages, or sticky ribs, or keep it casual with pepperoni pizza, beef tacos, or a loaded nachos platter. It pairs beautifully with Mediterranean fare - lamb koftas especially! The bright red fruit complements tomato sauces, roasted capsicum, and grilled vegetables, while its gentle spice handles chorizo or mildly spicy dishes with ease.
