Enjoy a "…delicious Barossa GSM… It is plush, silky, opulent and generous – what is not to like about that!" says Ken Gargett, WinePilot. "The flavours weave through chocolate, coffee beans, dry herbs, cassis and blackberries. The supple texture and seamless structure provide a solid base for a really likeable red blend and we see more chocolate emerging on the palate. A wine with impressive length, this will drink beautifully for at least the next ten to twelve years. 94pts." Ray Jordan, also writing in WinePilot agrees: "“A plush and generous blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre. Seductive floral perfumes of rose petal and stewed plum. The palate is a polished combination of supple fruit, fine chalky tannins and a gentle touch of oak. Displays an earthy red fruit flavour combo with a little dried herb and sage-like character on a palate that is medium weight and harmonious. 93pts.” (Ray Jordan) It boasts several high scores up to 95pts.

A special project single site Grenache made by Steve Grimley illustrating the quality of the varietal in McLaren Vale. "Since 2011 we have been making a single site Grenache from the Zimmer Family Vineyard across the road from our winery in McLaren Vale. In 2021 we separated the fruit into two individual fermenters, each of which was vinified and matured under the direction of a couple of old school winemakers, both of whom were remarkably confident they knew better than the other... " (Winemaker, Steve Grimley).

Impressive, savoury-edged GSM from brilliant McLaren Vale winemaker, Steve Grimley.

Delightful – and food friendly, 93pt blend of Grenache and Carignan from the Leask Brothers, whose Hither & Yon winery specialises in interesting varieties and blends. "Off grenache (60%) vines planted in 2009 and carignan (40%) in 2014 from the Sand Road vineyard. This, the first release, is very much in a bistro weight. The buoyant red-berried grenache is lively and juicy, with carignan adding scrubby herb and spice notes, the enthusiasm of the former balanced but not quelled by the latter. It’s an appealing wine, with a zippiness to the finish that will see it work nicely with so many foods, from lighter vegetable plates to fattier meat dishes. 92pts." (Marcus Ellis, The Halliday Wine Companion). John Lehmann, writing in The Australian agrees: "Fruity is as fruity does: from the sweet, intense nose of raspberry, blackberry and vanilla to the plush, generous palate. With flavours too of coffee and mocha with some earthy notes and herbs, it’s a happy marriage of grenache’s ripeness with the meatier tones of the carignan which make this so very food-friendly. "

First made back in 1997 and still definitely one of the sentimental favourites in the Kilikanoon portfolio, the Prodigal continues to set the standard for Clare Valley old-vine Grenache. Each fruit parcel was harvested and kept separate throughout the winemaking process until final assemblage. A fresh and lively palate, yet dark and brooding at the same time, the combination of ripe cherries, dark chocolate, kitchen spices and kirsch perfectly in sync with the fine chalky tannins and oak influences rounding out to a long flavoursome finish.

In the glass: Pale salmon pink.On the nose: Raspberry, cherry, cranberry, watermelon, rose water and white pepper.On the palate: Bright with ethereal and pure core fruit depth, mouth-watering savoury elements, pepper complexity, and a long finish.

There’s bundles of flavour in this classy Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvédre. A special blend that offers soft layers of fruit, and rich and velvety charm – The Black Pig delivers again!

This is delicious, a beautifully layered and lively red. Here's the tasting note from Bleasdale – complete with a terrific occasion-match (as opposed to a food-match! "Medium weight red wine with lifted blueberry fruit and cherry cola notes, wild thyme, savoury & earthy characters. Depth and personality from the Shiraz with notes of rain on hot gravel, clove and citrus. Rich fruit flavour with a fine chalky finish. Perfect when watching a summer thunderstorm..."
