2024 Troppo Grenache X 12 bottles

The 2024 Troppo Grenache is a bright and expressive take on McLaren Vale Grenache, crafted by Brendan and Laura Carter using organically grown fruit and a minimal intervention approach. Fermented with a portion of whole bunches and matured predominantly in seasoned vessels, the wine is designed to emphasise purity, perfume and freshness rather than oak influence. Aromas of wild raspberry, red cherry and strawberry are layered with rose petals, dried herbs, white pepper and subtle earthy spice, creating a lively and beautifully fragrant expression of this classic Mediterranean variety.

On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with silky tannins, vibrant natural acidity and exceptional energy. Juicy red berry fruit is balanced by savoury spice, gentle herbal complexity and a fine mineral edge, leading to a long, fresh finish with impressive finesse and drinkability. Elegant yet generous, it captures the vibrant, contemporary style that has made Australian Grenache so highly regarded.

Ben’s Recommendation:
The 2024 Troppo Grenache is a beautifully perfumed and vibrant red that shines with its freshness and silky texture. Pair it with grilled lamb, roast pork, charcuterie, Mediterranean vegetables, wood-fired pizza or herb-roasted chicken. Enjoy now through 2032 for its bright fruit, savoury complexity and effortless balance.
