"Single-site expressions of grenache have risen year on year and the advancements producers have made in understanding the potential of the grape and diversity of sites has led us here. Putting it simply, Australian grenache has never looked so good. This win is a fitting tribute to the late winemaker Peter Fraser. The wine is a pure and exacting expression of variety and region." – Katrina Butler
