Over this period Grenache harvest volumes declined by over 80 per cent through to the 2000s.<\/p>\n<p>It hasn\u2019t helped that as Shiraz became the face of Australian wine, varieties like Grenache were dolled up and produced as if they were Shiraz with later picking and lavish amounts of new oak producing hot, jammy, porty wines of little interest.<\/p>\n<p>Grenache shouldn\u2019t look like this, it has the potential to be aromatic, elegant, red fruited and slightly spicy, often affectionately referred to as the Pinot Noir of warmer climates.<\/p>\n<p>We have the benefit of some of the oldest Grenache plantings in the world, most notably across McLaren Vale and the Barossa Valley where it is capable of expressing the variation between sites. The fine, delicate and pretty styles from sandier soils through to the denser fruit-driven examples from some clay-based soils.<\/p>\n<p>The variation in expressions was arguably lost under all that oak and poorly suited winemaking styles, but as more growers and winemakers look towards producing single site wines and working out how to express the characters of the site clearly, we are now seeing the diversity and quality it is capable of.<\/p>\n<p>From the use in classic Rhone-style blends where it can provide perfume, spice and red fruits to complement the structure, bold nature of Shiraz and earthy\/savoury character of Mourvedre\/Mataro.<\/p>\n<p>Take the Turkey Flat Butchers Block blend ($19) from the Barossa Valley; a producer that has some of the oldest vine material in the region still producing wines of bigger body and rich flavours but dialling back the oak and ripeness to suit changing palates. To the modern approach of handling it a little more like you would Pinot Noir; the Reed Grenache ($35) typifies this style \u2013 pretty, delicate and aromatic without lacking structure, which is fine from the sandier soils, or depth which is ample from the old vine sources. Of course, the current runaway trend of Rose from Provence can\u2019t be forgotten, where it is widely planted and retains ample acidity in the warm climate along with its naturally lighter colour and lower tannin create the crisp, pale red-fruited examples that are dominating wine fridges. Chateau de Brigue ($22) make a classic Provencial Rose dominated by Grenache and supported by Cinsault and Syrah: pretty, bright red fruits, salmon colour and crisp refreshing structure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While Australia doesn\u2019t have any\u00a0native varieties like the famed\u00a0\u2018old world\u2019 countries of Europe,\u00a0we do now have a couple of\u00a0hundred years growing grapes\u00a0for wine production.
