Lienert Vineyards Grenache Wines
Grenache wine has seen a steady rise in popularity over the last 20 or so years - in the last 4 or 5 it's gone absolute gangbusters. No longer is it sidelined for fortification or blended away, rather it is being championed, particularly in the McLaren Vale and Barossa Valley, as a legitimate high-quality table wine.

- Lienert Vineyards Sieben Klon Grenache 2022Special Price $40.00 Regular Price $50.00The Lienert’s have been farming in the Barossa for 150 years and decided to add some vines to their property about 20 years ago. The first fruit from 2004 and 2005 vintages went straight to the pool room, aka into Penfold’s St Henri. Funnily enough they then planted a lot more vines and introduced many more clonal variations of Shiraz and Grenache. This Grenache is a brilliant amalgam of aromatics and pristine fruit, thanks to the careful clonal selection and extensive blending trials undertaken before settling on the final ‘just right blend’. Whilst called Sieben Klon (Seven Clones) the Grenache actually includes 8 separate clones. This vintage is a little lighter, yet more aromatically lifted than the 21 vintage. It’s a cracker.
