Grenache is on trend and causing quite a furor with Barossa and McLaren Vale leading the charge. Silky smooth but still packing a punch, it's popular on its own or as part of a blend. The plush notes of raspberry and plum are enhanced by aromas of orange rind and cinnamon which can be served slightly chilled for the ultimate summer sipping. Stand outs include Thistledown Gorgeous Grenache No.1 2021 ($25 RRP) and Serafino Grenache Shiraz Mataro 2021 ($28.50 RRP).
