Grenache: Australia’s Most Underrated Red (And Why We Love It)

Move over Shiraz—Grenache is having a moment. Here’s why we’re obsessed with this juicy, spicy, food-loving red.

Grenache: Australia’s Most Underrated Red (And Why We Love It)

For years, Grenache played second fiddle to Shiraz. But not anymore. Today, Australian Grenache is celebrated for its perfume, elegance, and sheer drinkability. From the old bush vines of the Barossa to the sandy soils of McLaren Vale, Grenache is producing some of the most exciting wines in the country.

What we love? Its ability to walk the line between juicy and savoury, light and structured. It’s Pinot-like in weight but Mediterranean in flavour. Think raspberry, cherry, cracked pepper and dried herbs.

Top Grenache Wines to Try

Food pairing? Go wild—duck pancakes, charred vegetables, pork belly, or a veggie pizza. It’s incredibly versatile.
