Grenache Wines

A plush Syrah Grenache blend with intense flavours of ripe plum, black pepper, tapenade and umami

This fusion of Grenache and Pinot Noir delivers beguiling notes of strawberry compote, gingerbread, souk spices, and heirloom rose in a blend that is vibrant and complex

The nose is packed with enticing fresh red fruit characters of raspberry, cherry, and pomegranate Hints of blackberry and Kalamata olive come through over time, erupting in a long and lingering palate A fine line of acid, reminiscent of tangy rhubarb, is supported by lively tannins

Richly textured and beautifully balanced, with delicious notes of anise, lime and green apple notes and finishing with mouthwatering salinity

A refreshing and textured Grenache Blanc, with citrus flavours layered with aromatic herbal notes of thyme, rosemary and a hint of spice on the finish

This is not soft, squashy strawberry Starburst Grenache This is real Grenache Serious Grenache Grenache with an attitude It has the most phenomenally complex aroma of wild berries, pepper, mushroom, gravel and iron Depth, intensity and generous structure Wild strawberries and peppery spice dance amid earthy undertones and brooding tannins Decant to really show its true potential, then savour it slowly Drink now or over the next ten years Superb!

This smells very like fine red Burgundy, with rosehip and red cherry character on the nose In keeping with all 'even' vintages to date, 2022 was a warmer year, and this shows in the relative richness of texture - super-supple, refined, with subtle, integrated acidity and an extra layer of sophistication It has potentially a long life ahead of it, but it s pretty much irresistible already People told Matt Swinney that he was insane when he planted Grenache in the Frankland River region The 'Albany Doctor' wind blows along the river valley direct from the Southern Ocean, meaning that summertime afternoons and evenings can be distinctly chilly Combined with reliable sunshine, this promotes the long, slow ripening shared by many of the world's finest wine regions Was Matt right? Does the Grenache ripen? Absolutely, and reliably so: under cool but dry and sunny conditions, and helped by the impoverished ironstone gravel soils, well-drained hilltop sites and established bush vines Farvie Grenache is the result of a ridiculously painstaking selection effort, involving visiting each vine three times to pick out the fruit that has reached the 'sweet spot' of optimal ripeness - neither too exposed to the sun, nor too shaded

A wonderfully juicy and bright Grenache! The wine is only just medium bodied, which, when combined with the bright acidity and the complex but fresh aromatic makes it such a refreshing and enjoyable drink that can be enjoyed with almost any food!

Delicate aromas of jasmine, cherry blossom and pink pepper lead to a vibrant and refreshing palate of orchard fruits with a vibrant saline finish

Lovely pink salmon colour bursting with scents of red fruits and subtle notes of white flowers

This smells very like fine red Burgundy, with rosehip and red cherry character on the nose 2020 was a warmer year (like 2018), and this shows in the relative richness of texture - super-supple and refined, with more subtle, integrated acidity than either of the previous vintages While I love the 2018 for its vibrancy, the 2020 has an extra layer of sophistication It has potentially a long life ahead of it, but it s so irresistible already that I can t see all that many bottles surviving to find out Drink 2023-2033 and beyond People told Matt Swinney that he was insane when he planted Grenache in the Frankland River region The 'Albany Doctor' wind blows along the river valley direct from the Southern Ocean, meaning that summertime afternoons and evenings can be distinctly chilly Combined with reliable sunshine, this promotes the long, slow ripening shared by many of the world's finest wine regions Was Matt right?

2019 was a colder vintage than 2018, and this is reflected in the fresh vibrancy of the wine It has fabulously precise, bright acidity and beautiful refinement of texture It tastes less ready than either the 2018 or 2020 vintages Drink 2026-2036 People told Matt Swinney that he was insane when he planted Grenache in the Frankland River region The 'Albany Doctor' wind blows along the river valley direct from the Southern Ocean, meaning that summertime afternoons and evenings can be distinctly chilly Combined with reliable sunshine, this promotes the long, slow ripening shared by many of the world's finest wine regions Was Matt right?

An elegant and fragrant wine with bright red fruit characters balanced with gentle savouriness Very soft tannins The use of only old oak and controlled alcohol allows the wine to speak of its old vine (1886) single vineyard origins Can be enjoyed now but can also be cellared for at least another 10 years

Bright cherry red, this instantly appealing wine shows a vibrant display of ripe red fruits, together with complex spice, herb and flower notes Raspberry and red cherry dominate, backed up by rosemary, lavender, eucalyptus leaf and liquorice, this is soft and elegant, with feather-like delicacy Beautifully balanced, with super-silky tannins and a refined, sustained finish Bravo!

Glorious, deep raspberry juice colour Cherry and black raspberry on the nose open to nuances of cassia, black truffle salted caramel and beef stock In the mouth, it has an astonishingly seamless texture for such a young wine, with flavours of stewed cherries and bittersweet 'Moro' - Sicilian blood orange There is fine acidity and a rounded, warm finish The wine's harmonious character will lead to many a bottle being enjoyed early, although like a fine Burgundy, this is intended to develop with age People told Matt Swinney that he was insane when he planted Grenache in the Frankland River region The 'Albany Doctor' wind blows along the river valley direct from the Southern Ocean, meaning that summertime afternoons and evenings can be distinctly chilly Combined with reliable sunshine, this promotes the long, slow ripening shared by many of the world's finest wine regions Was Matt right?
