Australian Grenache is enjoying somewhat of a moment, with old vines getting special attention, perhaps as tastes shift to lighter bodied reds, but without giving up any flavour concentration or complexity.

Mark Bulman makes one of the best examples. Named for the grower of the vineyard in Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale, Gary's Grenache is light-footed, bright, energetic and generous, with juicy fruit, savoury herbs and peppery spice. 

Gary Whaite planted the vineyard in 1974, taking a sledgehammer to the ironstone conglomerate to break it up. The label has an image of Gary with said sledgehammer subtly embossed below the broken rock.

Mark Bulman is a first-generation winemaker with roots in Australia but experience that spans cool-climate vineyards from New Zealand to Germany. In 2009, he returned home to the Barossa Valley, bringing with him a deep passion for Grenache, long before it became the grape of the moment.

A trip to Gigondas in the Southern Rhône was a turning point. The trip came as a prize after Mark won the prestigious Jimmy Watson Trophy in 2017 and showed him a bolder side of Grenache; powerful, rich, and high in alcohol. But instead of following suit, Mark saw an opportunity to take Grenache in a different direction: fresher, more refined, and full of nuance. That vision has shaped his approach ever since.

His wines are all about precision and elegance, with layer upon layer of flavour while still letting Grenache's pure, aromatic character shine through.

We have both of Mark’s stunning single-site expressions in our collection—each named after the grower behind the fruit.

Gary’s Vineyard sits in Blewitt Springs, McLaren Vale, and turns out a spicy, herbal Grenache with wild notes of sage and ginger. Glen’s Vineyard, established way back in 1857, lies in the cooler Springton area of Eden Valley. This one’s taut and focused, with zesty hints of blood orange, rhubarb and white pepper.

In the cellar, Mark keeps things gentle and thoughtful: minimal oxygen exposure to preserve freshness, long maceration for texture, and ageing in sandstone amphora to let the sites speak for themselves.
