If there’s a style that Merrill knows a lot about, it’s Rosé. Although actually, he knows a lot about a lot of styles. He was making this stuff way back in the day. Although this is a distinctly different style, being lighter and a more modern expression of the Provence-influenced styles that we’re seeing from Australian winemakers. The Grenache absolutely nails it. It’s crisp, it’s clean, with a raspberry, slightly strawberry note about it and subtle floral notes. This is perfect summer drinking. I love it.

This is instantly appealing on the nose with watermelon, ripe strawberry, Gala apple, and lemon zest aromas. The palate displays juicy fruit intensity, fleshy texture, and beautifully pitched acidity, making it refreshing and super tasty.

This is Grenache showing off its versatility yet again. Named after Geoff Merrill’s youngest daughter, the team avoided the use of oak throughout its making. The colour is a pale pink/orange. The nose offers aromas of rose petals, strawberries, hints of citrus and spices. This is fresh, very attractive, showing zesty acidity and decent length with a lingering finish. Well balanced, this is a great advertisement for the joy of Grenache. Enjoy it over the next couple of years.
