We catch up with Giles Cooke, winemaker and Award Winning Varietal (grenache) recipient at the 2022 Halliday Wine Companion Awards, to discuss all things grenache! Grenache in Australia has quite a chequered past but is now gaining recognition as a standalone variety - take a deep dive with us as we learn more about this remarkable variety.  Any thoughts or suggestions for upcoming episodes?
