Reynella Basket Pressed Grenache 2021 from McLaren Vale is a richly fruited, old‑vine style that shows why Grenache is such a hero variety in this part of South Australia. It’s a generous yet composed red, with traditional basket pressing keeping everything silky and beautifully pure.

In the glass, expect a bright core of raspberry, ripe red cherry and plum, layered with hints of strawberry compote, warm spice and a whisper of vanilla and cedar from seasoned oak. The palate is medium‑bodied and supple, all juicy red fruits and gentle spice wrapped in fine, chalk‑dusty tannins, finishing long, smooth and just savoury enough to bring you back for another sip.

Reynella Basket Pressed Grenache 2021 is a brilliant mid‑week all‑rounder with food – think chargrilled lamb cutlets, pork sausages, roast chicken with herbs or a good burger. It also works a treat with wood‑fired pizza, roast root veg and aged hard cheeses, where that plush fruit and soft structure make it dangerously easy to keep topping up the glass.
