The 2023 Munda Ngadjuri + Peramangk Country Grenache is a vibrant Australian red from the Barossa Valley, crafted primarily from Grenache sourced from old, dry-grown vines on sandy soils. Produced by Munda Wines—an Indigenous-owned winery—it reflects a strong connection to Country, combining traditional custodianship with modern, minimal-intervention winemaking. Wild fermentation and partial ageing in seasoned French oak enhance both texture and complexity while preserving freshness and purity. The nose is highly perfumed and expressive, showing raspberry, wild strawberry and red cherry, layered with dried herbs, rose florals and subtle spice. A gentle earthy and savoury edge adds depth and character.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with a bright, juicy profile, supported by fine, chalky tannins and lively acidity. Flavours of red berries, pomegranate and spice flow through a smooth, energetic mid-palate, leading to a long, elegant and lingering finish. The style is modern Barossa Grenache—fresh, lifted and finely structured, emphasizing finesse over weight.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a standout for customers looking for a more elegant, contemporary Grenache. It’s ideal for those who enjoy Pinot Noir or Rhône-style Grenache but want something brighter and more aromatic. This is not heavy or jammy—it’s perfumed, fresh and beautifully balanced. Drink now or over the next 8–12 years. Perfect with grilled lamb, charcuterie, Mediterranean dishes or herb-driven cuisine.
