Hewitson UNGRAFTED Grenache 2022 from Barossa Valley is a vibrant, pure-fruited Grenache celebrating old-vine, ungrafted material with a really pretty, almost perfumed lift that still feels authentically Barossan. It opens with bright red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, layered with rose petal, orange peel and a gentle dusting of spice that draws you straight back to the glass.

On the palate, Hewitson UNGRAFTED Grenache 2022 sits medium bodied with a juicy, silky flow of red berries, cranberry and pomegranate, supported by subtle baking spice, dried herbs and a faint savoury earthiness. Tannins are fine and powdery, acidity is fresh, and the whole package feels energetic and moreish rather than heavy, making it a great option for those who like elegance in their Barossa reds.

For food, this UNGRAFTED Grenache 2022 is spot on with charcuterie, grilled lamb cutlets, roast chicken or Mediterranean-style vegetable dishes, where its bright fruit and spice play beautifully with herbs and a bit of char. It is also excellent slightly chilled with pizza, tapas, barbecue pork or a mushroom and thyme tart, making it a super versatile Barossa Grenache that suits everything from casual mid-week dinners to relaxed long lunches.
