Not my bag, but tremendous Grenache. Recommended for those into the grape and Southern Rhone.

Grenache in mountain man guise, from the Mullineuxes. Swartland meets Amador.

Shake Ridge vineyard. Silky elegant carbonic Grenache from hubby/wife Chris and Andrea Mullineux. Sneaky complex. Floaty red fruits with a subtle spice. All Grenache should be so lovely.
