2025 Troppo Grenache

Troppo is built on the simple truth that Grenache and sand are an iconic duo - this 2025 release champions that combination, proving that the Riverland (blended here with McLaren Vale) can produce Grenache that is light on its feet but full of personality.

Sourced from dry-grown vines, the winemaking is deliberately hands-off to preserve the fruit's energy. It involves mostly whole berries, a short time on skins, and a brief rest in older oak and tank. There is no fining and no heavy extraction - just pure, unadulterated juice.

The result is a wine that is all about "crunch" rather than concentration. It bursts with aromatics of fresh and candied raspberries, red liquorice and rhubarb. On the palate, it is juicy and vibrant, with refreshing acidity and just a faint suggestion of tannin. As Brendan and Laura at UZ describe it, it's a "choose your own adventure" wine - equally delicious at room temperature or chilled down for a warm afternoon.
