Give this Angove Family Crest Grenache some air to let it find its rhythm.
Muted on opening, it gradually builds momentum in the glass, revealing more character and detail with every swirl. Initially sitting firmly on the darker fruit spectrum, blueberries and mulberries provide a muscular core before flashes of red apple begin to emerge with time.
Medium-bodied and silky, there's a pleasing contrast between the wine's structure and supple texture. A gentle layer of spice builds across the palate, adding savoury interest without overpowering the fruit. It doesn't have the dainty prettiness of some Grenache styles. Instead, this is a more self-assured expression that carries itself with confidence. Fire up the barbecue and you're set, thanks to its ease and approachability.
