The Garcon is Peter Schell's top value Barossa Grenache pegged as a pigeon pair alongside his fantastic Barossa Syrah.
Schell is a Grenache master, subtly coaxing out all of the softness and energy that Grenache grown in this region can display when it's picked and treated just right.
In his own words, Schell dubs this,"a celebration of the variety from its spiritual home in Australia."
He just doesn't miss when it comes to this variety. It's bright, floral and exceptionally seductive. A fantastic buy for those enjoying the modern Grenache revolution that's currently underway right across SA.

"Grenache sourced from the Barossa's west (Moppa), north (Ebenezer) and east (Bethany). I really like this nimble, beautifully detailed little grenache. It's packed with ripe raspberry, red apple, redcurrant and cranberry fruit tones with exotic spice, gingerbread, earth, red plum and rose petals. Light, airy and sapid with a glorious, saliva-inducing sour cherry acid line and an effortless drinkability."
