"For the first year, this is now a single varietal category. It’s time we looked at grenache in its purest state. Single-site expressions of grenache have risen year on year and the advancements producers have made in understanding the potential of the grape and diversity of sites have led us here. Putting it simply, Australian grenache has never looked so good." – Katrina Butler
