Confluence Grenache Noir 2025
type: Product
description: Our original Grenache. A wine that has been with us from the very beginning. Some wines are simply part of the range. Confluence is part of who we are.

There's real intensity and concentration here — but never heaviness or cloying sweetness. It's the kind of wine that rewards you for paying attention, but doesn't require you to. Pour a glass.
