Here’s a cheeky red blend from Clare Valley producer Mitchell that gets us excited. Excited because it’s a little bit different but fuses the best of European varieties to produce a food friendly red. We can seriously imagine nothing better than d...

Red cherry, clear and bright. An earthy spicy nose. The palate has good structure with well-balanced acids and tannins; the fruits are cool plums and cherries with a lovely sweet spicy finish. Very French, very good value.

Cote du Rhone can deliver great value for money, and this adorable grenache blend does just that. Fruity aromas of raspberries and dark cherries swirl around the glass, together with hints of dried herbs and earthiness. The palate is quite fullsom...

This predominantly grenache shiraz blend is super value and shows aromas of raspberries, cherries and soft spice, with just a touch of savouriness on the nose. The palate is fuller-bodied and rich with lots of dark cherry flavours, licks of toasti...

This is the 'piece de resistance' for Domaine St Francois Xavier. It's the top cat in their portfolio with fruit sourced from their most prized vineyards in the foothills of the Dentelles ranges. They also use a bit more oak in this tom cat. There...

The French aren't generally known for fruit-driven wines, but this one is a game changer! It's very modern in style, showing vibrant cherries and strawberries on the nose, with a touch of earthy spices. The palate is soft and mellow, with fine, ap...

Visit the Radford winery you will more than likely be greeted by an animal, be it a cat, a dog or a bird. While their winery resembles a menagerie, they have a vineyard equivalent in the Eden Valley, where, Mataro, Grenache and Alicante grow side-...

With an average age of 25-years, here is a more serious example of fortified wine. Made in a tawny port style, it's a blend of Grenache and Shiraz that reminds you of Christmas. It's all mince pies and chestnuts roasting in an open fire on the nos...

Is it just us that starts singing a little Michael Jackson 'you're not alone' when talking about this wine? Hmmm maybe. Anyways, the story here is about a classic blend of grapes with Grenache, Shiraz and a litlte Mourvedre (or Mataro as it is oth...

This unwooded Grenache blend is all about fruit. About fermented grape juice and the joy of Grenache when it's fresh and young and juicy. Made with a bare minimum of oak and even a bare minimum of winemaking, it's a wine for drinking, not serious ...

Grenache is normally associated with the Barossa or McLaren Vale but winemaking maverick Tim Adams was stuck for Cabernet and Shiraz grapes back in 1993 and bought this fruit of a neighbour. The rest is history. The wine was such a success it beca...

Brash, bold and beefy - three great words that describe this full flavoured Barossan red particularly well. Sourced from the old vines of renowned Barossan larrikin - and owner of a great moustache - Rob Gibson, this generous, full flavoured and l...

Medium to full red/purple colour. Vanilla and spice aromas with some red berry notes. Clean and fresh. Tight, fine and rather firm palate with lively acidity, possibly adjusted, with some flesh and richness, density and power. Long finish.

Appearance: Brilliant pale pink tones with a copper hue. Nose: Intensely fruity (white peaches, pink lady apple and exotic fruits). Palate: Fresh and vibrant, with well balanced acidity and mouthfeel, the fruit aromas follow through on the palat...

Sweet, heady scents of red cherries, raspberries, rose garden, cloves and cinnamon precede a silky, luscious palate of genuine elegance and refinement. Bright, spicy flavours of juicy dark berries and plums wrapped in dusty, fine-grained tannins f...

Smooth, supple and fruit-driven, with a rather closed but deeply scented perfume of blackberries, red berries, dark plums and blue flowers laced with dusty spices. It's gentle and refined, with a juicy sweetness of blueberries, blackberries, dark ...
