The Wine

Country of origin:

Australia

Region:

McLaren Vale

Giles is on a mission to bring Aussie Grenache to the world stage. Arguably the most famous Grenache wine is Châteauneuf du Pape, but this red is a very different kind of animal. Châteauneuf and other Barossa reds are usually big, powerful beasts - and whilst this certainly has intensity of flavour this delicately hued red is otherwise very elegant with vibrant wild strawberry, spice and a silky texture. Try it served slightly chilled, or it makes a great partner to grilled lamb or aubergine.

The Winemaker

Giles Cooke MW
Winemaker:

Giles Cooke MW

Giles Cooke has travelled the world, but something has always drawn him back to Australia. He aims to craft lithe, energetic wines that illustrate the benefits of great sites and intelligent, low-intervention winemaking.

"With Grenache, we are always looking to maximise fruit purity, texture and finesse rather than making another rich red wine. The resulting wine has the characteristic Barossa punch but there is a beguiling texture and perfume that keeps you interested." - Giles Cooke MW, Winemaker.
