I like Australian Grenache a fair bit and sometimes prefer it to Shiraz. This style of wine makes for a very jolly BBQ drink in my opinion. Goes well with a sausage sandwich (slice of white bread folded in half enfolding slightly burnt sausage squirted with sauce - BBQ, HP, Chilli or Tomato - I am not fussy) which is one of my very favourite foods.

A bit cosmetic but offers juicy red fruit, red licorice, pepper and a floral lift. On the palate medium bodied with sweet red fruit and more meaty peppery flavours. It has good shape courtesy of light dry raspy tannins and clean acidity. Finishes with a bit of grip and a red fruit and dried herb aftertaste. Good quaffing with a bit of character.
