Your NB Grenache 2024 Guide to Enjoyment
Thank you for securing this tiny, cheeky release from 100-year-old vines. Below you’ll find tasting notes, a pairing slice (not a chart — this wine prefers mischief), and how to make the most of your bottle.
A cheeky wine deserves a cheeky guide.
Restock Your NB
Vintage Snapshot
- 2024 vintage
- Cooler growing season with rainy Dec & Jan. End of summer & autumn hot & dry. A chameleon vintage!
- 100-year-old Blewitt Springs vines
- Small batch; 100 cases only
- Matured in neutral French oak puncheons (big to contain the vivaciousness)
- Natural mischief, zero compromise
How to use this page
Scroll for tasting notes, then hit the pairing slices.
Each slice gives you one specific, perfect match.
NB doesn’t like too many options — it knows what it wants.
Tasting Notes — NB Grenache 2024
Style: Unpredictable, evolving, cheerful with a streak of mischief.
Aromas: Black cherry, star anise, crushed blueberry, nanna’s dried herb cupboard, raspberry, cranberry, and something you won’t notice until next glass.
Palate: Juicy raspberry brightness layered with darker undertones and a savoury lick of tannin. It tastes like early summer on the deck while someone burns the snags just slightly.
The NB Pairing Slices
Pick your slice. Serve it. Watch NB show off.
🧀 Cheese
Aged Manchego
Nutty, salty, with a savoury kick that lets the NB’s fruit glow. Bonus points if there are crackers and you’re eating standing up, chatting, distracted.
🍽️ Food
Charred Lamb Cutlets + Salsa Verde
Fire + herbs + juicy fruit = NB behaving… almost.
🎶 Music
Culture Club — “Karma Chameleon”
Like the wine: never one flavour, never one mood.
