Organic Hill Founders Release Grenache from McLaren Vale in South Australia is a super premium, preservative free Grenache that pours a deep red with a soft ruby hue and leaps from the glass with lifted raspberry, chocolate and cherry notes over darker plum, blueberry and gentle spice. This Organic Hill Founders Release Grenache shows how pure, vibrant and complex McLaren Vale Grenache can be when grown organically and bottled without added sulphur.

The palate is medium bodied yet generous, with a juicy, fruit laden entry and vibrant acidity rolling through red and blue fruits into a long, balanced finish framed by fine, focused tannins. There is no oak influence, so it is all about primary fruit and clarity, and you can drink it now for brightness or cellar it for five to eight years if you enjoy a softer, more savoury style over time.

This certified organic, biodynamic, vegan friendly and preservative free red is a natural match for duck à l’orange as the winery suggests, but also works beautifully with roast duck pancakes, slow cooked lamb, Mediterranean vegetable bakes or rich mushroom and lentil dishes where its bright fruit and fine tannins really hug the food. It is an ideal choice for drinkers seeking serious quality with a minimal intervention philosophy.
