Wine Gringo Grenache 2023

4 STARS: Sam Kim; Wine Orbit

"Light and fruity, the wine shows pomegranate, ripe strawberry, floral and subtle spice aromas on the nose, followed by a beautifully rounded palate offering elegant weight and smooth flow, offering charming drinking. At its best: now to 2026"
- Sam Kim

"Deliciously crunchy and bright, this 'nouveau' style Grenache was picked early to preserve natural acidity and to give its juicy, red-fruit driven palate. Made from South Australian grenache grapes, bottled young and recommended to be served with a chill. Light in colour and style, flavours of red plum and cherry with a soft acidity. When chilled, red fruit flavours are fresh and distinguished."
- Winemakers Notes 

Wine Gringo is produced from South Australian Grenache that, in many ways, has been treated like a white wine in the winery. The soft plum and cherry flavours synonymous with grenache remain front and centre, but the tannin and grippy mouthfeel associated with red wine is nowhere to be seen.
