In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Red cherry, cinnamon and lavender leap from the glass, anchored by a crisp citrus-rind edge and bright juicy acidity that keeps the wine dancing rather than heavy. Fine-grained tannins and a lingering dry finish underscore the textural precision of old-vine Grenache in cool McLaren Vale, stripped of oak and pretence. At 14.5% ABV, it's balanced and food-friendly.

The Winery — Willunga 100

For two decades, Willunga 100 has championed a fresher, lifted interpretation of Grenache sourced from fabled single vineyards across McLaren Vale. Sue Trott's 70-year-old Blewitt Springs site—where Gulf breezes temper the sun and sharpen the fruit—yields this 2023 vintage. The winery's hand-picked, minimally-extracted approach (10% whole-bunch, 12 days on skins, no oak) lets vineyard character shine. The 2023 growing season, marked by a wet spring and late harvest, concentrated the fruit's aromatic character while preserving the critical acidity balance that defines great cool-climate Grenache.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

Roasted duck, grilled beef, barbecued lamb—this wine was built for the table. Mustard-glazed ham, baked eggplant, slow-braised chicken thighs all find their match in its textural freshness. Whether Sunday lunch with the family or a date-night centrepiece, this Grenache delivers the food-friendly versatility and aromatic lift that explain why the variety has regained fashion among serious growers.
