Session 6 - Grenache

Grenache is one of Australia's own.  Despite its origins being of Northern Spain (one of its synonyms is Tinta Aragones - red of Aragon) and it being lauded as a key component of Southern Rhone blends, Grenache was one of the grape varieties brought to Australia by James Busby not long after settlement.

Much neglected for many years, it was often used in fortified wines to provide alcohol and bulk, some of Australia's oldest vines were pulled in the 80's vine pull.  Thankfully the old fines are treasured and from them some stunning wines made.

Swirl, Sniff, Spit loves Grenache and is gleeful at the prospect of this glorious Grenache line-up being brought to the fine folk of Brisbane.
