It Takes a Village & A Little 'Nache'!

From day one, our small-batch, minimal-intervention McLaren Vale Grenache has been stitched together by friends who turned up, pitched in, tasted, hauled, proofed, designed and cheered.

The dream was born on the back of the 2022 Len Evans Tutorial where the dissertation on wines presented was grenache to the journey of building a brand concurrently during the Wine Australia Future Leaders program and the other week we got a little nod, a tip of the cap that means a lot! A bronze medal at the Sydney Royal Wine Show. We’re absolutely pumped - especially because Duff Grenache isn’t a classic “show style” wine, we didn't airbrush it. It’s built naturally! Of energy, perfume and drinkability, not for the trophy cabinet. But hey, we’ll happily raise a glass to the judges in thanks.

This recognition means the world, not just because it validates the quality of what we're making, but because it's a testament to everyone who's been part of this journey.

Thank you to everyone who's supported Duff Wines - whether you've bought a bottle, shared a post, or simply cheered us on. This one's for you. 🍷
