Black & Ginger Grenache Nouveau 2024

Share

Grampians Grenache gets its moment and takes the opportunity to reveal an early drinking nouveau style of immediate drinking pleasure. There is no need to over-think the grape here, it’s all about capturing and presenting the strong suit of cherry fruit, herbs and spice. It’s mighty easy to take it all in and simply enjoy with a lick of lifted regional black pepper thrown in. Fine, firm tannins and fresh acidity do the guiding. The rest is up to you. Released August 1.
