Through out the country, Grenache has started to receive the respect the grape deserves with everyone getting to see how good it can be when treated correctly. It’s especially pleasing seeing the long history Australia has with this grape and a testament that every old dog has a new trick in them.
Like this collective journey with Grenache, our approach to winemaking (and to be honest, life) is to be always evolving, always learning. It’s not about being good, its about being getting better. We have worked with the Grenache from this vineyard and each year we aim to slightly tweak and experiment to improve its final result. The result of a cool year, this version is bright, spicy and subtle, happily taking a chill in the fridge on a warm day or at room temperature on the dinner table.
REGION: Grampians, Victoria
VINEYARD: Arawatta Vineyard , on red ironstone, on Djub Wurrung Country
VINTAGE: 2026
VARIETAL: 100% Grenache
GROWING SEASON: 2026 started as a cool, wet vintage but developed into a beautiful growing season for Western Victoria with the final months of red ripening almost textbook.
WINEMAKING: Gentle winemaking was the theme with this wine. Whole berries was cold soaked for 3 days before a native fermentation took off. Gentle hand plunging of the cap just to keep it wet before an early press. The wine finished its ferment in old French oak where it rested for a couple of months before an early bottling. Vegan friendly.
ALCOHOL: 13.5%
FOOD MATCH: The middle bodied profile of the wine makes it a very versatile food match. Think Tempura, braised chicken or even an Indian curry.
