Ljus rödgul färg, fruktig, röda bär, pigg syra, lite med tanniner men de ger struktur. God

Very light and simple. Easy to drink but little to enjoy. Not to my taste. Grenache should have more body than this.

Silky red fruit aromas. Medium/- ruby color. In the grand context of Grenache, this is more elegant than many would pin on the variety. Very nice bottle of wine.

low depth of color, ruby to red rim. very aromatic wine with lots of kirsch'y cherry... lots of dried herbs... on the palate low to moderate acidity, moderate weight, low tannins, low alcohol. well balanced wine, ok length, very good intensity, ok complexity. like others have noted this is a super wine for the price... none of the jamy/sweet barossa fruit on this at all though clearly new world wine. stellar at $13

Fruit forward but nice minerality and good finish. Was better with food and a little simple on its own. Very good for $15, quality everyday wine that will have good versatility.

This Barossa Grenache is great for everyday drinking - very enjoyable, a great QPR and worth stocking up on. At $13, it's well-priced. Unnoticeable tannins, light fruit, a bit of spice, good alcohol point (13%). A lovely wine at the price.

Pretty nose of jube-like fruit, licorice and dried flowers. The palate is soft and supple and you get a hit of sweetness before some earth and flora boots in. The finish is savoury and tannins round and gentle.

Colour: translucent cherry Nose: maraschino cherry, raspberry liqueur, rich and sweet. Sweet spice, cinnamon, touch of old oak. Perfumed and elegant -- rose petals? Palate: maraschino cherry, again, and raspberry. Raspberry. Fresh red berries. Less sweet than on the nose. Perhaps rosehip? Rose petals. Medium bodied, elegant, but rich. Savoury, old oak, sweet spice. Touch of white pepper. Very fresh berry like acidity, and fine grained powdery tannins. Very nice, very good value. 13% alcohol

This is a great everyday Grenache and would be a good introduction to Barossa Grenache for anyone interested. Some confectionery and floral elements on the nose. Good fruit. Not a lot of tannin means it doesn't have enough grip for real cellaring, but a year or two in the cellar would not hurt this at all. Great QPR!

Good, and getting better as it opens. This was a surprise. At the start, it seemed to be on the downslope. But the wine woke up and worked well with the venison steaks we grilled. Wish I had some more!

Not so many notes, but the wine was completely ready and very supple and pleasurable.

Mint, seductive, sweet, typically bold in an Australian way. If this is your style, this is your wine. 17/20

Tight nose that hints of a sweaty sock. Taste is slightly sour cherries with a pleasant transition due to the nice tannins. Overall: Nice but that's about it.

Decanted for 30min and served. Purple colour with a very strong brownish hue, very �earthy� in colour. At first very tight nose, but after a few minutes got smells of cream cheese, cherry pie, and a dirt/earthy smell. Flavours of sour cherries and cherry cheesecake. This wine gives a medium length finish and has soft, almost unnoticeable tannins. Not bad for $25cdn.
