Today’s Imprimata Wines 2012 McLaren Vale Grenache is a fantastic offering from our new favorite Australian winemaker, Ben Glaetzer, who has turned out to be one of Australia’s rising star winemakers.

On opening, this wine may seem brash and somewhat overpowering, but let it breathe and it softens and the fruit flavors become more, well, fruity. Make no mistake, even after some extended decanting or vigorous swirling, this wine still packs a delicious wallop.

Enjoy this very highly recommended wine with something that matches its heartiness. Throw a thick cut steak on to the barbie, and enjoy!
