Yalumba Old Bush Vine Grenache 2017

Often described as one of Australia's unsung heroes, Grenache is naturally lighter in colour than Shiraz or Cabernet Sauvignon but continually provides us with wonderful big fruit flavours. Yalumba is extremely fortunate to have access to some of the oldest Grenache vineyards in the Barossa - with fruit for this wine sourced from vines planted between 1898 and 1973.

The 2017 Old Bush Vine Grenache is saturated with aromas of red fruits, cherries and perfumed berries, with hints of stalk and cracked green peppercorns. The flavours are all open and airy with the crunch of red apple and pomegranate seed. This is richly textured, round and supple with a deft juiciness merging into long powdery tannins. Drink now through 2028.

Pair with duck rillette or for a vegan option try a creamy butternut squash linguine with fried sage.
