Willunga 100 Grenache 2023 was a big winner at the 2025 National Wine Show, which puts this 2024 release into “eagerly anticipated” territory.

For the most part this is a more-ish red wine full of sweet, raspberried fruit flavour. Through the finish though it turns savoury and dry, which gives it a more serious or contemplative side. Win-win. Earth, tobacco, and twiggy herb characters are minor-but-important players here. Grapey tannin is appropriate and attractive icing. 92 points.
