The McLaren Vale Grenache Triple Treat Six Pack | 3 Grenaches, 2 of Each

Three Cracking Grenaches. Two Bottles of Each. Six Bottles of McLaren Vale Goodness.

96 Points | 95 Points | 94 Points | Three Brilliant Expressions of McLaren Vale Grenache

If there is one Australian variety you should be drinking more of right now, it might just be:

McLaren Vale Grenache.

The quality has gone through the roof.

Forget the old idea of Grenache as big, warm and alcoholic. The best modern McLaren Vale examples are perfumed, juicy, spicy, silky and ridiculously drinkable, while the region's extraordinary old vines give the wines genuine depth and complexity.

So we've put together three absolute crackers.

Two bottles of each. Six bottles total. Combined RRP $204.

And there isn't a passenger in the pack.

2 x 2024 Willunga 100 Grenache

RRP $32 | 96 Points & Top 100 – The Weekend Australian

95 Points & Runner-Up Best Grenache – 2025 McLaren Vale Wine Show

93 Points – The Wine Front

93 Points – Halliday Wine Companion

This might be one of the great Grenache bargains in Australia.

Look at the scores.

96 POINTS

and selected for The Weekend Australian Top 100 Wines.

Then 95 points and Runner-Up for Best Grenache at the 2025 McLaren Vale Wine Show.

Add another 93 points from The Wine Front and 93 Halliday, and you have an extraordinary collection of reviews for a wine with an RRP of just:

$32.

Willunga 100 has long been a Grenache specialist, sourcing fruit from some of McLaren Vale's remarkable old vineyards.

The 2024 is everything we want from modern McLaren Vale Grenache: bright red berries, raspberry, cherry, florals and spice, with beautiful freshness and fine, savoury tannins.

Perfumed. Juicy. Spicy. Silky.

At $32 RRP, it's almost ridiculous.

2 x 2025 Thistledown Thorny Devil Grenache

RRP $35 | 95 Points – Halliday Wine Companion

Thistledown has become one of the names to know when talking about contemporary Australian Grenache.

And the 2025 Thorny Devil shows exactly why.

95 POINTS – HALLIDAY WINE COMPANION

Thistledown's Grenache philosophy is all about protecting perfume, freshness and the natural beauty of the fruit rather than chasing sheer extraction.

The result is exactly the style of Grenache we love.

Think:

Raspberry & strawberry

Red cherry

Beautiful florals

Herbs

Pepper & spice

Fine tannins

Brilliant freshness

There's plenty of flavour, but it remains light on its feet.

This is dangerously drinkable Grenache.

And again:

$35 RRP.

Outstanding buying.

2 x 2023 Juxtaposed Old Vines Grenache

RRP $35 | 94 Points – The Wine Front

And then we bring in the old vines.

This is where Grenache gets really interesting.

The 2023 Juxtaposed Old Vines Grenache received:

94 POINTS – THE WINE FRONT

and delivers a more savoury, complex expression of McLaren Vale Grenache.

Old vines can give Grenache an incredible combination of fruit intensity without excessive weight.

Expect red cherry, raspberry and darker berries, layered with spice, herbs, earth and subtle savoury complexity.

There's beautiful fruit at the core, but enough tannin and structure to keep everything serious.

Old-vine McLaren Vale Grenache for $35 RRP.

That's exactly the sort of wine we love finding.

Why McLaren Vale Grenache?

McLaren Vale is home to some of the oldest surviving Grenache vines in the world.

And after decades of Grenache often being blended away or treated as secondary to Shiraz, Australian winemakers have finally realised just how extraordinary these vineyards can be.

The modern style has completely changed the game.

Less extraction.

Less oak.

Earlier picking.

More whole berries and whole bunches.

More perfume.

More freshness.

And infinitely more drinkability.

At its best, McLaren Vale Grenache can combine the perfume and silky texture Pinot Noir drinkers love with the spice, generosity and Mediterranean personality of Grenache.

That's a pretty compelling combination.
