Mattinson review of Black and Ginger Grenache Nouveau 2024.

Black & Ginger Grenache Nouveau 2024
$33, 13.3% alcohol, screwcap, Great Western/Grampians.

This is delicious plus plus. It’s immensely drinkable and more-ish but it also feels authentic and real. Dark cherry flavours, flecks of fennel, earth, ground peppercorn and general roasted spice notes all make delicious contributions. It’s dry and structural through the finish but not at the expense of the wine’s general juiciness or indeed brightness. This is a wine producer who really knows what they’re doing. Buy and drink this; it’s a light-ish red wine and it’s a beauty. 93 points.

When you pick up a wine book and see thousands of top-scoring wines, it’s hard to know which wine to choose. Mattinson guides you through this maze, giving you an honest view of the best Australian wines, the best wine stories, the best wine producers, the best value wines and simply, the best tasting wines. Importantly, Mattinson will tell you about the top-rated wines and also about the underrated wines. In short, Mattinson knows Australian wines inside and out.

Mattinson has been a photo-journalist since 1987. For the past 25 years he’s been a voice that you can trust when you’re looking for the best wines. He’s the only Australian to have won the Australian Wine Communicator of the Year Award more than once. He’s a past winner of a Louis Roederer International Wine Media Award, and is the author of the award-winning book The Wine Hunter. He’s not afraid to put a score beside a wine. But what he’d rather do, is tell you the wine’s story.
