A rare and captivating mutation of the Grenache family, Grenache Gris, also known as Grey Grenache, sits between the red-fruited warmth of Grenache Noir and the crisp freshness of Grenache Blanc. The variety takes its name from the distinctive grey-pink hue of its berries at full ripeness. In Australia, where old vine Grenache holds a cherished place in the viticultural story, Grenache Gris is emerging as one of the most exciting and collectable expressions of the family, producing wines of genuine complexity with notes of white peach, dried rose petal, citrus zest, and a subtle spiced earthiness that lingers long on the palate.
Food Pairing
Serve with roasted salmon, herb-crusted barramundi, or a Provincial style fish stew. Its delicate fruit character and textural depth make it equally at home alongside roasted pork with fennel, a summer vegetable tart, or a spread of antipasto. Try it with soft bloomy-rind cheese or a dish with saffron and ginger for a pairing that mirrors the wine's quietly exotic personality.
