Ruby garnet in colour. Bright, red cherry and raspberry fruit on the nose. Focused red berry flavours on the palate, juicy mid palate with pepper and spice notes. Generous fleshy fruit, supported by high quality French oak.

The vines used to produce this wonderful Grenache are 80 years old (hence the name!) and it shows. Ripe cherry, berry fruit and a touch of spice that lingers on the palate. Lovely soft tannins that will reward medium term cellaring.

Black cherry, raspberry, honey nougat, liquorice, and a hint of orange peel on the nose

Kicks off with freshly picked red fruits and a slight earthiness. The palate delivers a wave of raspberry and gentle spice notes complemented by a soft palate weight that makes it eminently drinkable. There’s a brisk acidity on the finish making for a great medium weighted wine that’s suited to a variety of meat dishes.

Grenache has always been a cornerstone of d'Arenberg's red wines and this is one of the benchmarks of the variety. Produced from old low yielding vines it is a wine of great character and intensity. Showing none of the sickly confectionery characters that can plague this variety, it's all about elegant, savoury spice.

Grenache is a very versatile variety, it had been wildly used in blending in the past but it is slowly becoming a star variety of its own. Great vines produce firm, rich and complex flavours with a great sense of lingering earthiness on the palate. This Vinos For Chinos Barossa Grenache is strong, bold and most certainly unconventional for this great variety.

This wine is extremely fragrant, revealing aromas of fresh raspberries, maraschino cherries and peppery spices. The palate is medium bodied with flavours of juicy berries and soft tannins with exotic subtleties of pomogranate and rose. Matches perfectly well with slow cooked casseroles, stews and tomato-based dishes like spaghetti Bolognese.

Some would say McLaren Vale is the spiritual home of Australian Grenache. We are not about to start arguing when Grenache like this one from Chapel Hill are produced. Generous rich red fruits with smattering of dried herbs and a fleshy mid-palate. There is real concentration and complexity to this wine.
