We used to mostly just drink Shiraz here in Oz. Or Cab. Then Pinot started to get a bit of a following — and pretty quickly, it blew up.
Fifteen years ago, Grenache was still dead in the water.
"I don't like Grenache."
"I haven’t tried a Grenache."
"It’s alright in a GSM blend, I guess..."
Then came The Grenachening.
Halliday started championing a few standout straight Grenache from McLaren Vale and the Barossa. Why? Because Australia does straight Grenache better than pretty much anywhere else in the world.
Sales climbed. Growers started paying much closer attention to their vines. Grenache is finnicky — the picking window is much shorter than for most other varieties.
Then the availability of straight Grenache as a gold and trophy winning standard took off, and it seems there is no one who hasn't had Grenache and very few who don't love it. It's expensive too - fruit is 2x times the price of Shiraz fruit these days.
So, here’s $720 worth of just magical Grenache and GSM, all superb — yours for just $295.
