This wine is like a berry fruit salad on the nose, bursting with fresh red and black fruit with a glossy, silken mouthfeel. This is a big wine, with slightly more confected notes of strawberry laces and raspberry ripple in the mouth. Four months in oak helps to deliver an inviting spicy element on the finish.

Origin: Aragon, Spain. Mainly Grown In: France, Spain, Italy, USA, Australia and South Africa. Key Facts: Grenache is a life-of-the-party kind of grape — fun, fruity, and charismatic with a spicy pep to its feet and an inviting warmth of approachability. And, despite its Spanish origin and well-established 19th-century home in France (where it so happened to be the Pope’s wine of choice) the world's oldest continuously producing Grenache vines are actually in Australia. Grenache is lighter in body and softer in tannin than many other red grapes which is why it is both so easy to drink on its own and why it's teamed up to make blends (like GSM) with other grapes that may need a friendlier touch to soften up them up and chill out their bold, up-tight and tannic tendencies. Fun Fact: Grenache was one of the first varieties to be introduced to Australia.
