It’s a testament to the strength of the variety and its growing conditions that for under $30 we can enjoy Grenache such as this. This is a tightrope dance of splendid red berried fruits, redcurrants, cranberries and wild raspberries held by a bushland of shrubbery and bay leaf. Dotted with clove, licorice bullets and a powdery mesh of tannins. It avoids the confection like quality with alcohol well worked into the wine and with the nuance of herb and spice. It also manages to be a thirst quenching red wine to boot. A burgundy glass, a summers’ day and not a care in the world. Serve with homemade sausage rolls and chutney. Delightful and made for drinking in merriment.
