Yangarra Preservative Free Grenache 2022 from McLaren Vale is a lively, organically grown, no‑added‑preservative red that bursts with juicy fruit and savoury charm. Yangarra PF Grenache 2022 glows bright purple in the glass, offering all the energy of young Grenache with a seriously drinkable, modern Australian feel. It is vibrant, a touch wild, and made to drink young.

Aromatically, think raspberry, blackberry and blueberry compote, sprinkled with pomegranate, white pepper and clove, with bay leaf, subtle vanilla and a faint cocoa twist in the background. The palate is medium‑bodied and super juicy upfront, then turns pleasantly grainy and textural, with fine, powdery tannins and a tangy, almost sour‑cherry acidity. It feels rugged yet refreshing, especially with a light chill.

Food‑wise, this preservative‑free Grenache is brilliant with grilled lamb chops, char‑grilled sausages, beef and black‑bean stir‑fry or a hearty mushroom risotto. It also suits Mediterranean veg dishes, smoky bean stews and a wedge of aged cheddar.
