The 2023 Rusden Christine’s Grenache is an expressive Barossa Valley red with a bright, fruit-driven character and savoury detail. The nose opens with raspberry, red cherry and ripe strawberry, complemented by subtle dried herbs, floral notes and gentle spice.
On the palate, it is medium-bodied with lively acidity and fine, supple tannins, showing juicy red berry fruit alongside hints of spice and earthy complexity. The fruit remains fresh and defined through the palate, leading to a dry, balanced and lingering finish.
Ben’s Recommendation:
At Wine More Cellars, this is a great choice for Grenache drinkers who enjoy bright red fruit, gentle spice and softer tannins rather than a heavily structured red. Enjoy it now or cellar over the next 5–7 years as more savoury complexity develops. Ideal with grilled lamb, roast pork, barbecue chicken, chargrilled vegetables or mushroom dishes.
