Learn More About Organic Grenache

Grenache has Spanish origins and later became one of the great grapes of southern France, especially in the Rhône Valley. In Australia, it was once widely used in fortified wines and blends, but it has had a major revival as a fresh, fragrant and expressive red. Old vines are a real strength here, especially in South Australia.

What Does Organic Grenache Taste Like?

Organic Grenache is typically medium-bodied, fragrant and juicy, with raspberry, strawberry, red cherry, spice, dried herbs and gentle tannins. Old-vine and warmer-region examples can be richer and more layered, while modern styles can be bright, lively and delicious slightly chilled.

Where Does Grenache Grow Well In Australia?

Grenache loves warm, dry conditions and performs beautifully in McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, the Riverland and other Mediterranean-leaning regions. McLaren Vale is especially well known for bright, sandy-soil Grenache, while Barossa old vines can bring depth and concentration.
