  1. Agathist Alchemy Second Wine Grenache 2016
    Agathist Alchemy Second Wine Grenache 2016

    100% Grenache, Seppeltsfield, Barossa 

    Agathist Alchemy is a label from Barossa Valley guru, Craig Isbel who is also one of the people behind Izway Wines. Here he produces two wines from a single vineyard located across the road from his family home. It is owned & farmed organically by vigneron Nick Radford. The wines are produced in small batches of no larger than 500 kilo - wild ferments. The use of sulphur is minimal with tiny amounts used just after malo and at bottling. Other than this no other additions are used whatsoever. These are compact, elegant and character driven wines from a Barossa valley expert.

    This is a cracker… A wild perfume of red berries, briar, fennel, undergrowth, old campfire. Really quite compelling. Just on medium weight, serious ‘pinosity’, if that’s a thing, light, fine, silken flow, slender grip of tannin dips into savouriness and yet the wine finds succulence in pure, red berry and rose water fruit character. Sheesh, this is fine grenache.’ MIKE BENNIE, The Wine Front

  2. The Wizardry Grenache Rouge 2019
    The Wizardry Grenache Rouge 2019

    Steve Webber is a man of many talents and passions. One of his is Grenache from upper Heathcote. He loves it so much he has established a brand around promoting the variety in the region. This is the 3rd vintage and of the wines and we are thoroughly convinced, not just because Steve stands behind, but because the wine is that good. The future is bright and so is this wine. PWS

    This red delight reflects the name with definitely some magic in its makeup, dark cherry aromatics to start, with ripe but not jammy flavours as you sip in medium to fuller-bodied juicy fruits offsetting a fine, sandy tannin feel. There’s a lot going on for the price – look out for specials and keep an eye on it as the styling unfolds over the next few years. HALLIDAY MAGAZINE SEPTEMBER 2020

  3. Yalumba Bush Vine Grenache 2019
    Yalumba Bush Vine Grenache 2019
    The estate's efforts across the respective grenache cuvees are almost as venerable as those across the very fine expressions of viognier. This, a thirst-slaking red, is worth celebrating for its youthful primary fruit: cranberry, cumquat and cherry bonbon. Yet, most impressive are the saline, slaty tannins that been massaged into the fray with aplomb, helping to imbue poise while curtailing the ripeness of fruit. NED GOODWIN MW, James Halliday's Wine Companion

    Sourced from very old bush vines (some dating back to 1929) which add both depth of fruit and phenolic impact, lending the wine some subtle gravitas. Lovely, so primary it's almost juicy, lifted with elements of spice that slides in to grilled meats. Beautifully textured, vibrant and inviting. Lovely, did I say that already? There is structure and heft here too but it only adds to the overall sensuality of the wine. We all tasted this and asked how much. When we heard the price we jumped on it. Yalumba are masters at the craft and this is ludicrously good for the money. The ideal mid-week wine with so much going for it that it embarrasses a lot of other wines in a similar price range.

  4. Rive Droite Rive Gauche Cotes du Rhone 2020
    Rive Droite Rive Gauche Cotes du Rhone 2020
    Rive Droite Rive Gauche simply means right bank, left bank and the name derives from fruit for the wine being sourced from both sides of the river - the grenache coming mainly from the left (gauche) and the Syrah from the village of Daumazan (on the rive droite), near Tavel. It is also a French film starring the rotund wine-nut actor Gerard Depardieu - fun fact!

    This is a lovely fresh and crunchy styled Rhone from our friends at Rive Droite. There is touch of thyme and bay over red spiced fruits, layered with a little bit of red liquorice. This is a medium bodied rendition with a pure core of raspberry, wild strawberry and splash of black berry fruit in the mix. Its lithe with a lovely fresh cut to the sweet fruits that makes this look wonderfully elegant and damn easy to like.

  5. Barbier Clos Mogador 2016 1500ml
    Barbier Clos Mogador 2016 1500ml
    3 BOTTLES AVAILABLE

    Keeping the classical profile, the 2016 Clos Mogador has been fine tuned, reducing the French grapes, and it matured approximately 18 months in oak foudre and barriques. There is a lively sensation on the palate, vivacious and with very fine tannins. It has a meaty touch and feels really young , despite the long élevage. There is a strong mineral sensation on the palate, something that is a texture and mouthfeel rather than a flavor. This is an unusual, fresh vintage. LUIS GUTIERREZ, Robert Parker

    Alkina Kin Polygon 3 Grenache 2021
    Polygon No. 3 is a tiny plot measuring just 0.274 hectares in size and contains approximately 200, densley packed vines.

  7. Aphelion Trennery Grenache 2021
    Aphelion Trennery Grenache 2021
    Onkaparinga. A wonderful word. Plum and cherry, ripe and spicy, an earthy coal-like character. It’s firm and almost liqueur-like in intensity, with firm dusty tannin, and a dry plum and dried flower finish. Very good, but not quite as good as the other two single vineyard wines. Kind of sticky in its firmness. GARY WALSH, www.winefront.com

    From the Onkaparinga Hills, a parcel of dry-grown bush vines, fermented as whole clusters and aged in a single, larger-format cask. This parcel was planted in the early 1970s and it has a sappy feel (whole clusters) and bright, very pure raspberries and some leafy elements on offer, as well as blueberries. The palate has quite smooth and ripe tannins, holds a fresh edge (low pH) and delivers a similar combination of red and blue fruits as seen on the nose. A little, chewy stone pop at the finish. Nuanced and elegant. Good now, but even better in a year or two. (95) NICK STOCK, www.jamessuckling.com

  8. Domaine Font de Courtedune Chateauneuf du Pape 2019
    Domaine Font de Courtedune Chateauneuf du Pape 2019

    Lots of ripe black cherries, leather, candied violets, and peppery herb notes emerge from the 2019 Châteauneuf Du Pape, which is almost all Grenache (99%) that was brought up all in concrete tanks. Beautifully textured, medium to full-bodied, and nicely structured, it has some of the vintage's savory, firm tannins, but this is beautifully done and will benefit from a year or two of bottle age and keep for over a decade.JEB DUNNUCK

    A tank-aged Grenache selection from sandy sites, the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape features pretty lavender and garrigue shadings, plus raspberries, cherries and hints of stone fruit. It's full-bodied, concentrated and tannic but ripe and should come good in time. JOE CZERWINSKI, Wine Advocate

  9. Domaine Font de Courtedune Cotes du Rhone Village VV 2020
    Domaine Font de Courtedune Cotes du Rhone Village VV 2020

    From 50 year old vines and a blend of 80% Grenache and 20% Syrah.

    Domaine Courtedune is a small family domaine in southern Rhone where a new generation has taken over. Brother and sister team Frédéric and Caroline Charrier have honed in on their viticulture and terroir prowess, finely tuning their work in the cellar. They've lifted Courtedune to venerable heights. There's a lovely synergy and balance in the wines, an intriguing spark that lures you back for another sip.

    One of our high achieving reds that over delivers on price, this grenache dominant Cotes du Rhone boasts a rich velvety core of fruit. A backbone of tannins is ribbed by complex flavours from whole bunch and old vines. Their sandy soils (which neighbour Rayas) add energy to the wines.
    The fluidity and composure of grenache is masterfully expressed here. Dark red raspberries, garrigue and blood orange scents sit alongside smoked meats, earth and licorice. This is a beautiful play on fruit and earth, where the terroir shines through in the ripe and juicy grapes. JONATHON LIVINGSTONE-LEARMONTH

  10. MMAD Grenache 2021
    MMAD Grenache 2021

    The clarity of the wine matches its freshness; 90/10% whole berries/bunches; 20 days in Italian-made tulip-shaped concrete 4-tonne fermenters, basked pressed, matured 15 months in old French puncheons. The highly fragrant blend of cherry and plum drives a very long, fine and elegant palate. (97) JAMES HALLIDAY

    The grenache vines in the MMAD vineyard were planted in 1939. That’s quite a year, in world terms, to begin your life. This wine was aged in old oak; no new oak was used.

    Truly beautiful grenache. Sweet and ripe but savoury and, even, crunchy with it. Best of many worlds. Woodsmoke, herbs, raspberry, cloves and a sweet earth character. The presser mentions pomegranate and it’s a good call; it beings that seed-like crunch to the wine. Tannin is ultra fine and the finish is noteworthy. Blewitt Springs is a great place to grow red wine grapes and here, again, it’s off and away, in full voice. (95) CAMPBELL MATTINSON, The Wine Front

  11. Cepa X Cepa Garnacha 2021
    Cepa X Cepa Garnacha 2021

    This is a real treasure in the Nekeas Valley. Dwarf oak trees in the upper regions of the valley concealed small areas of Garnacha vineyards over 60 years old. The age of the vines are a result of years and years of selection based on the experience of wine growers who knew nothing about DNA, but knew what type of grape that ripened well in this extreme climate of the region, sometimes very harsh, so they decided to do the same thing that they had done before. They selected the vines that faired best of the years - "Cepa por Cepa" literally means "Vine by vine" and this is they worked.

    They have essentially rescued an invaluable genetic gem that could otherwise have been lost forever and the result is a succulent and vibrant wine. We are thoroughly impressed!

    Another great renditions here with wild strawberry, cherry and spice aromas that meet-and-greet with a welcoming smile. Its sits a nice middel-ground of serious looking grenache with some tight savoury tannins, finely sprinkled throught that lead into smoked herb-like savory finish. Freshness and vitality but with that staturated core of sweet red fruits that is ever appealing. Looking good.

  12. In Praise of Shadows Mankai Red Blend 2021
    In Praise of Shadows Mankai Red Blend 2021

    Garnacha, Monastrell, Touriga, Graciano.

    So much ozone, or petrichor, here, which is so appealing. Red berries, a little liquorice and spice. Medium-bodied, at most, fresh and crisp, slightly earthy, hazelnuts, spiced poached strawberry and red cherry, emery board tannin, a distinct ‘mineral’ feel, and a cool spicy/savoury finish of brightness and excellent length. So individual. So energetic. Outstanding. Get amongst it. GARY WALSH, The Wine Front

    The name for this cracking little producer is Inspired by the Japanese literary masterpiece of the same name, In Praise of Shadows is. For Rob Mack and Brett Trewartha this is somewhat of a  philosophical wine passion project sourcing the best fruit from vineyards around McLaren Vale, many of which are certified organic and bioydnamic. Lo-fi, unfined, unfiltered, and all that jazz. Ultimately though just really flippin delicious.

  13. Domaine Font de Courtedune Chateauneuf du Pape 2020
    Domaine Font de Courtedune Chateauneuf du Pape 2020
    I loved the 2020 Châteauneuf Du Pape, a pretty, nicely balanced, elegant 2020 offering lots of red and black fruits as well as some floral, rose, and garrigue-like nuances. With fine tannins, a supple, layered mouthfeel, and outstanding length, it’s well worth seeking out. The blend is almost all Grenache, brought up all in concrete tanks. JEB DUNNUCK

    White pepper from the stems accentuates the fresh aromatics. Full-bodied, but again great freshness on the palate, with is underlined by the piercing acidity. Texturally deep, the tannins are just a little fibrous, but this has plenty of interest and personality. Sandy soils and aged in concrete. MATT WALLIS - Decanter

  14. De Bortoli 'Burgoyne's Block' Mourvedre Shiraz Grenache 2021
    De Bortoli 'Burgoyne's Block' Mourvedre Shiraz Grenache 2021

    A typical Rhône blend of mourvèdre, shiraz and grenache that captures the juicy affability of the style. Deeply coloured with the rising scent of blackberry, mulberry, plum, vanilla and gently nutty spice. Impressive depth with sturdy, free-flowing tannins and balance. JENI PORT, James Halliday

    What can we say about De Bortoli and the quality they punch out for often what seems like ridiculous pricing? Well we are not complaining. And hey have done it again.

    The Mourvedre and Grenache are grown on the DeBortoli Shelley’s Vineyard on the eastern edge of the Rutherglen region. The Shiraz comes from Burgoyne’s Block on a west facing slopes which helps to concentrate the Shiraz flavours. Alluring aromas and flavours of spice, cherry and red berry fruits. This full flavoured, medium bodied, well balanced blend finishes smoothly and is further enhanced by hints of French oak.

  15. SC Pannell Basso Garnacha 2020
    SC Pannell Basso Garnacha 2020
    Very easy to love, such is the intuitive ease with which all components meld. From the liquorice and Cherry Ripe core, the smattering of thyme, lavender and white pepper about the seams and the carapace of wiry tannins, gritty and savoury in the best sense, this is mellifluous. The message of place, convincing; the drinkability quotient high. Poised in every way, from where it is grown, the fashion in which it is crafted and its versatility at the table. (93) NED GOODWIN, winecompanion.com 
     
    A vividly approachable and fruit-forward style that offers much in the way of blue and red fruit aromas and flavours with background spices and sappy complexity. Fleshy, instantly-appealing Grenache done right. (93) NICK STOCK, gourmettravellerwine.com

  16. Hobo Wine Camp Folk Machine Parts and Labour Red 2022
    Hobo Wine Camp Folk Machine Parts and Labour Red 2022
    This is the second vintage that Grenache has dominated the P&L blend. The 2022 is a blend of Grenache from Mangels Ranch in Suisun Valley, Cedar Lane in Arroyo Seco, and Waddington Ranch in Mendocino, Carignane from Lolonis, Maria Martinson, and Castañon all in Mendocino, and Syrah from Vecino in Potter Valley. There is a good amount of whole cluster and carbonic maceration through the lots keeping everything fresh and fun. As always, the blend was made immediately after harvest and the wine was aged in a combination of French oak foudres and stainless steel tanks.

    Oh yum! This is such a joy to drink. A cracking drop here from the legend that is Kenny likitprakong of Hobo. He was telling us that this was his house wine. The one that he has cases of to rip the corks off when mates come round, the BBQ fires up and a long warm weekend is about a kick off and we can see why. This is hard to put down once it's in your glass.

    It's all about the red fruits here with fresh picked red cherry and raspberry all vying for position at the front of the pack. Some pretty violet notes swirl around and as this opens up some savoury whole black peppercorn and foresty bits make themselves heard. Its lithe and fresh bursting onto the palate with that core of red berry fruit. Clean and pure just sizzling with energy. A joy to drink and would happily take a brief chill if you were so inclined.

    The Story Wines Super G Red Blend 2022
    It's not heavy but it's so wild with spice and so generally captivating that it's hard to put it down. This is a cracker of a wine. Red and blue berried fruit flavours, black pepper notes, a mezcal aspect and flings of roasted nuts. It's ripe and robust, in a mid-weight way, but the real key here is that it's aflame with roasted spice/pepper notes. CAMPBELL MATTINSON, winecompanion.com

    Boschkloof Kottabos Grenache Syrah 2021
    'Kottabos', refers to a Greek drinking game that involves throwing the lees from unfiltered wines at targets. This is an experiments of sorts for Reenan Borman, winemaker, combining about  2/3 grenache and 1/3 syrah off the granitic soils of the Skilpadvlei Vineyard, near the Boschkloof estate. Harvested the fermented separately with whole-clusters. The grenache aged in French puncheons and the syrah sat in concrete tanks. Bottled without fining or filtration after 11 months, it received only a minimal addition of SO2.

    Casa Rojo Enemigo Mio Garnacha 2021

    100% Garnacha from a single 4-hectare vineyard at the foot of the Sierra de La Pila, just in front of the winery The age of the vineyard is 5 years old and it is 100% property with north orientation and fresh clay soil.

    Crushed raspberry and wild bracken with a hint of charry earthy that provides a counterpoint to the fresh fruit. A lovely combo of sweet and savoury that follows on the palate with a playful back and fourth between the clean red fruits and wild cherry notes. Firm and snappy with a fine cut to the tannins.
