Wine Tasting Notes:
On colour
The Migliarina Grenache 2022 presents a light ruby red hue, showing the typically pale and translucent quality associated with Grenache from sites emphasizing freshness and delicacy.
On the nose
The nose is perfumed and inviting, offering pronounced aromas of sweet raspberry and subtle spice, with a supporting note of black cherry and a delicate floral character. Hints of gentle earthiness and garrigue lift the bouquet, staying true to the variety’s aromatic profile while reflecting the finesse of careful winemaking.
On the palate
The palate is dry, with soft yet firm tannins providing structure alongside a velvety texture through the midpalate. Flavours of ripe red berries persist, particularly raspberry and cherry, underpinned by an elegant thread of spice. Acidity is refreshing and in balance, contributing to a medium-bodied feel and a lingering, clean red fruit-driven finish with just a touch of warmth from moderate alcohol.
On the whole
A lifted, charming Grenache, marked by purity of fruit and a supple, graceful style.
Food and Wine Paring Suggestions:

Boerewors Sausage: The sausage’s herb and subtle spices echo Grenache’s floral-spice notes, creating a seamless pairing that lifts the flavors.
-
BBQ Chicken or Lamb: Both meats are versatile with Grenache’s soft structure and berry notes, providing juiciness and freshness to grilled flavors.
