Grenache is a very versatile red wine variety and a personal favourite for many. Frequently used in various styles from Dry Red, Rose, through to Fortified Wines, it was once Australia’s most planted grape variety. It thrives in hot conditions, making it ideal for the Australian climate. Today it has emerged with its own identity, and is highly sought after by consumers looking for something different from their usual Cabernet or Shiraz selections. In the glass, these wines are typically display colours of light to medium plum red. Flavours typically consist of boiled lolly, cherry, raspberry, cloves, stewed plum, prune, sarsaparilla, and spice. As the wine ages, more earthen flavours will develop with hints of tobacco, bacon and mushroom accompanying the fruit.
