The 2024 Airlie Bank Gamay Grenache is a bright and energetic Yarra Valley red blend that combines the juicy fruit character of Gamay with the vibrant spice and texture of Grenache. Aromas of red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry are complemented by subtle floral notes, hints of spice and a touch of dried herbs. Fresh and expressive, it captures the easy-drinking appeal of these two complementary varieties.
On the palate, it is light to medium-bodied with lively acidity, soft tannins and a silky texture. Flavours of red berries, cranberry and cherry are supported by gentle savoury notes and a subtle spice lift, creating a wine that is both refreshing and well balanced. The finish is smooth, bright and persistent, with plenty of freshness and drinkability.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is a fantastic choice for those who enjoy lighter-bodied reds packed with vibrant fruit and freshness. Best enjoyed young over the next 2–5 years. Pair with charcuterie, roast chicken, grilled pork, wood-fired pizza or Mediterranean-style dishes for a versatile and food-friendly match.
