Tasting Notes and Food Pairing Suggestions

  • Wild mushroom pizza

This earthy Australian Grenache made from 37 year old vines is super soft, fresh, juicy, and bright - perfect for weeknight quaffing after a long day of work. Very light-handed with the oak, this easy-going wine opens with funky barnyard aromas and moves into a spicy palate filled with crushed red raspberries and red plum fruit. Refreshingly "un-Australian" in style, AKA extremely balanced!
