Vintage: 2021 Blewitt Springs. SA ALC: 13.3% Pinot (I know this is a Grenache, stick with me here) has been our biggest love of 2022 thus far. If Pinot is the life long partner, the soul mate, the rock, then Grenache is the summer fling. And jeez it is exciting. It is thrilling. Australian Grenache is going through a resurgence. The quality of wines from this new 'wave', this new style, is nothing short of brilliant. The Rouleur Grenache is a classic example of this; bright, lifted fruits. Perfumed; raspberry, musk, almost a bit of a redskins note (remember the confectionary?). Medium bodied. Crunchy finish. Delicious, delicious drinking. Wine shopping is the only place you're allowed a life partner and a summer fling. And you didn't hear it from me. Calling all you high rollers. Allow us to introduce one man band Matt East. He grew up in the Yarra Valley, tinkering with his own wine from a young age, dad growing grapes in the back yard. The Rouleur philosophy is tending to pick on the earlier side for a freshness that knocks your socks off without sacrificing flavour. Matt’s rolling/rouleur journey in wine took him from national sales manager for Wirra Wirra to now getting his handy dirty, (cue suit in the bin. Sales script ripped apart. KPIs and spreadsheets deleted.). Rouleur is a tilt of the hat to his dad - lost but not forgotten - and a nod to the road less traveled.
