Beyond the Labels

Grenache is becoming more and more popular – and one taste of these vibrant, red-jewelled Grenache beauties shows why. They’re so lovely that some winemakers broadcast their deliciousness on the label. Thistledown in McLaren Vale calls theirs ‘Gorgeous’ and Tscharke in the Barossa calls theirs ‘A Thing of Beauty’. They really do live up to their names. More Grenache beauty can be found in the lovely Franca’s Vineyard Grenache, whilst the Marauding Vintners Governor General McLaren Vale Grenache turns on some real charm. Curtis takes top fruit from across South Australia to make its power-packed, awarded drop and last, you’ve a very presidential Grenache blend from the sun-drenched south of France that will wow you with its intensity. These are amazing – don’t miss them

Wine Summary

With origins in Spain and southern France, where he still regularly distinguishes himself, this impressive figure first set foot here in 1840 and today also calls South Australia home. The Governor General may have been around a while but has an eye to the future. He mixes effortlessly, but is bold enough to stand alone. Possessed of great potential strength and power, he more often displays his lighter side, with seductive charm and finesse. For many, his approachable style is very refreshing, and even at his most chilled, you’ll always receive a warm welcome.

Wine Summary

Le XV is known to thousands as our ‘King of the Big Reds’. It owes its intensity to Grenache from vines, some over 100 years old, that grow on the rocky slopes of the Pyrenean foothills in the Montagne Noire and yield only tiny quantities of grapes. Le XV also benefits from the painstaking care of self-confessed southern French wine aficionado Mark Hoddy, whose draconian selection process sees him earmark in advance every vineyard he intends to harvest and micro-manage every stage of the winemaking. This takes time, but you can taste the result in every delicious glass! Richly textured, with layers of ripe bramble fruit kept smooth by warming alcohol and soft, ripe tannins, this is a red to enjoy with roast lamb, steak or a hearty stew.

Wine Summary

Tscharke says he believes Grenache “actually looks better without the oak”. “There’s a freshness and delicacy and prettiness to these wines, which elevates the fruit,’’ he says. Tscharke’s aptly named Grenache uses fruit from the Marananga sub-region of Barossa, and could have been made by fairies: pretty aromas of rose petals, cherries and ripe strawberries lift from the glass, complemented by savoury hints. The palate surprises with its seriousness: concentrated strawberry flavours give way to spicy, savoury tones, with a touch of orange rind and aniseed. Complexity, finesse and power. This boasts three Golds and 95pts from Halliday's Greanche challenge putting Grenaches from all over the country head to head. Enjoy it slightly chilled.

Wine Summary

The Curtis family have been growning grapes and making wine in McLaren Vale since 1973. Their family winery is just west of the township of McLaren Vale and is now run by Mark, Thomas and Jenna Curtis, with the occasional word of two of guidance from their father, Claudio Curtis. Their Heritage label may be a nod to the past, but stylistically, this Grenache is modern, fresh and highly enjoyable. Aromas of soft red fruits, strawberries and raspberries especially, with hints of spice and rose petal. Sam Kim, Wine Orbit is full of praise: "This is delightfully styled, showing sweet cherry, floral, olive and warm spice aromas, leading to a beautifully smooth palate that's rounded and flowing. A lovely expression of the variety with an immediate appeal". New Goodwin MW in the Halliday Wine Companion recommends chilling it to enhance its moreish quality further.

Wine Summary

From a new wave of excellent winemakers focused on elevating the virtues of this vastly under-rated variety. Sourced from a number of old vineyards in the Riverland and McLaren Vale, some of which are dry grown bush vines. Aromatic and lifted on the nose with a beautifully layered, textural palate with wild strawberry and spice. Vinified in small batches, separately. Wild ferments, whole bunch inclusion, larger oak and no filtration or fining define the natural character of the wine. "... the aromas are dried herbs and spices, blackberry jam and a suggestion of burnt blackberry jam. There's a core of sweet ripe fruit and then a wash of drying tannins sweeps through. Bold, straightforward and very attractive" (Huon Hooke, The Real Review).

Wine Summary

Alex Russell is turning out some exceptional wines under his Russell & Suitor label. The reds are juicy, delicious and quite moreish, much like the Franca's Vineyard Grenache. It's from the Riverland, with just the right amount of sunshine for this thin-skinned varietal to tan its way to aromatic red fruit bliss. Beautiful aromas of strawberry, red cherry and spice are reflected on the palate and carry it through to a lovely, textured finish. A terrific long lunch wine.
