“Bright, pure, and irresistibly alive — this is modern Australian Grenache at its most thrilling, glowing with energy and finesse.”

Tasting Notes

Appearance: Luminous ruby with crimson highlights — bright and beautifully translucent.
Aroma: Intense perfume of raspberry, red cherry, and rose petal, with hints of blood orange, spice, and fine mineral dust.
Palate: Medium-bodied, juicy, and impeccably balanced. Waves of red fruit glide across a silken palate with fine sandy tannins and cool-climate lift. The texture is plush yet precise, delivering power through purity rather than weight.
Finish: Long, savoury, and perfectly poised — a harmony of fruit, spice, and energy that lingers with electric precision.

Vineyard & Winemaking

Sourced from old bush vines in the elevated sands of Blewitt Springs and Clarendon, within McLaren Vale — two of the most prized subregions for Grenache in Australia.
The combination of altitude, deep sandy soils, and cool afternoon breezes produces fruit of exceptional fragrance, finesse, and natural tension.

Crafted by Giles Cooke MW, the winemaking philosophy is one of minimal intervention and maximum expression:

• Hand-harvested fruit

• Wild fermentation with partial whole bunch inclusion

• Gentle extraction and gravity handling

• Aged in large, seasoned French oak puncheons

Every decision is focused on purity, texture, and capturing the vivid energy that inspired the name She’s Electric.

Region

McLaren Vale, South Australia — particularly Blewitt Springs, the beating heart of Australia’s Grenache renaissance.
Here, ancient sands and maritime breezes create wines of incredible aromatic lift, minerality, and elegance.

Food Pairings

• Chargrilled lamb with rosemary and garlic

• Roast duck with pomegranate glaze

• Porcini and truffle risotto

• Charred eggplant with harissa and herbs

• Semi-hard cheeses such as aged Gouda or Manchego
