I love Garnacha from Priorat. Amazing region..
Grenache from McLaren vale at the moment is singing. 22 vintages look amazing. Vanguardist (the 22 grenache is a knockout) MMAD, Pannell, yangarra
Best Grenache I have had recently was in fact a GSM blend from Barossa. Charles Melton – Nine Popes. Give it a try, it’s worth it! 😄
Sardinian cannonou. Arguably where the grape originated (if you follow the cannonou > garnacha > grenache history). Also one the best styles to play with to show how wine changes as you expose it to air. Open it. Drink it, decant and watch and wait. It will change 3,4,5 times (if you don't slurp it all up on the first go).
