"LES AMIS" Grenache

The "Les Amis" from Torbreck is a Grenache with both power and softness: round, full-bodied, and lush, carried by fresh acidity. A red wine from Australia that shows fullness without appearing heavy.

Torbreck started in 1994 in the Barossa Valley with the goal of vinifying wines in a Rhône style that reflect the best sites of the region. As early as 1840, classic Rhône varieties such as Shiraz, Grenache, and Mourvèdre were planted here. Since 2013, the winery has belonged to Pete Kight; the chief oenologist is Ian Hongell. Their motto: The best Torbreck wines have not yet been made.

In the glass, there are intense black cherry, spice, and smoke, plus white flowers, roasted herbs, and earthy notes. On the palate, the dry wine is complex, the tannins are ripe, and the body is soft and juicy. Serve it at 16–18 °C with braised lamb, grilled ribs, or strong hard cheese. It also goes with oven-roasted vegetables with rosemary and thyme, because the herbal notes in the wine pick up the aroma.
