M. Chapoutier Tournon Landsborough Vineyard Grenache 2017 from Victoria’s Pyrenees is a bright, Rhône‑inspired single‑vineyard Grenache that turns high‑country altitude into a beautifully fragrant, medium‑to‑full bodied red with serious drinkability. It’s supple, generous and distinctly Chapoutier in style.

In the glass, it shows bright to medium‑deep ruby, with raspberries, blackberries, strawberries and black cherry leaping from the glass, alongside blood plum, sarsaparilla, anise and warm spice. The palate is fresh and juicy with all‑spice, gentle minerality and savoury, silky tannins; full‑bodied yet airy in feel, with soft acids and a long, fruit‑soaked finish that carries its 15% alcohol effortlessly.

On the table, Tournon Landsborough Vineyard Grenache 2017 is magic with roast lamb leg, charcuterie with pickles and sourdough, game terrines, chorizo‑and‑tomato stews and mushroom‑rich dishes. It’s drinking beautifully now at around peak, showing generous fruit with developing savoury complexity, and works equally well solo or alongside hearty Mediterranean plates.
