The Other Wine Grenache 2025 12 Pack

Shanteh Wale - Winepilot

A combination of whole berries and bunches, basket pressed to concrete and old puncheons. Here the McLaren Vale aromatics take shape in blue fruit, juniper, blueberries and lilac. Spices are round, dark and earthy. Clove, Pepperberries and dark cardamom. Some ripe red fruit pops its head up on the palate and tannins are firm but well suited to the spectrum of fruit and spice. This consistently has its identity intact, you know your in for vibrancy and just the right amount of concentration for drinking on release or aging for 2-3 years further. This wine says, please drink me with pulled pork tacos, don’t over complicate it. Stringy, juicy pork with charred crispy bits too, pica de gallo and squeezed lime. Voila.

Mike Bennie - Halliday Wine Companion

A fleshy, soft, easy-drinking style of grenache that veers into jammier territory but manages to include good uplifting spice, floral characters, crisp tannins and a vibrant blood orange finish. Red cherries, raspberry and mulberry are the mainstays. Fun kinda wine – straight up and down in the best sense. Will please all comers.

Erin Larkin - Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2025 Grenache leads with crunchy red apple and pomegranate on the nose, followed by raspberry and cherry. The palate is simple but crunchy and good, and it certainly looks a lot more expressive after being open in the glass for 20 minutes prior to tasting. Something that will achieve this (a large glass, aeration, decanting, whatever you can manage) is advised. It's a pretty wine. 14% alcohol, sealed under screw cap.
