Sherrah Wines Grenache Nouveau 2025 from McLaren Vale is a bright, preservative‑free joven Grenache that’s all crunchy red fruit, spice and sheer drinkability – the kind of wine you absolutely can (and should) lightly chill. It blends three bush‑vine sites across coastal Tatachilla, elevated Seaview and 80‑year‑old Blewitt Springs sands to build flavour and energy without weight. Sherrah Grenache Nouveau 2025 is a lifted, luscious style that drinks like a really serious “gluggable” red.

In the glass, this Sherrah Grenache Nouveau – Preservative Free 2025 shows vibrant ruby colour with aromas of wild plum, tart cherry, red berries and a little jubey lift, backed by white pepper, baking spice and dried herbs. The palate is juicy and fruit‑driven, bursting with red fruits and a twang of persimmon, framed by dusty, scrubby tannins that keep all that exuberance nicely in check. Whole‑berry ferments with about 25% whole bunch, hand‑plunged in small open fermenters and just two months in seasoned puncheons give it perfume, texture and structure without heaviness.

This is tailor‑made for pizza night, charcuterie, burgers or snags on the barbie, especially served with a gentle chill. It will also sing with grilled Mediterranean veg, lamb koftas or a mushroom burger, where its bright fruit, spice and dusty tannins weave straight into those savoury flavours.
