Aussies Have a Winner in Laid Back Grenache
by Andrew ChalkFollowing up on the antipodean Sauvignon Blancs of last week, Southern Starz also has a range of Aussie Grenache wines.

The Gini family has roots in the Soave Classico region dating from the seventh century and owns 25 hectares of vineyards situated on the very best hillside position of the appellation.

Both tradition and the modern are reflected at Gini. The hand-harvested Soave Classicos is 100% Garganega. Both the Soave
