Rosemount Estate Grenache Shiraz

[stevebody]

Nice surprising factoid about the G/S and the Rosemount Shiraz/Cab: They both do very well chilled. I've used both at cookouts every summer for the past seven years and people are amazed that a hearty red like that doesn't slam shut like a manhole cover when chilled.

One wine I never see mentioned in Aussie posts is the original heavyweight Aussie Grenache: The Yalumba Bushvine, a truly gorgeous, full-blown Grenache that has wons cirtical acclaim for over a decade and still only costs about $14 retail! It's a fabulous wine, with grace and complexity and pretty accessible.
