Renegade 2021 represents a fresher, more vibrant version of this Rhône-inspired blend, shaped by a cooler vintage with excellent natural acidity. It’s youthful, aromatic and brimming with red and black fruit, offering a refined yet energetic expression of Syrah-led blending. More lifted than the 2018, but equally captivating in its own style.
Ken Forrester, The Producer
Ken’s approach to Renegade has always emphasised instinctive winemaking: taking what the vintage offers and allowing the wine’s personality to emerge naturally. With 2021’s cooler, slower-ripening conditions, Ken leaned into elegance: softer extraction, lighter oak influence and a deliberate focus on fragrance and finesse. The result is a Renegade that celebrates freshness without sacrificing complexity.
About the 2020 Vintage
Intense and expressive, featuring concentrated wild red berries layered with peppery, spicy notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and liquorice. On the palate, the wine is rounded and harmonious, revealing savoury hints of salty black olives and a gentle thread of smokiness.
Food Pairing Suggestion
Pair with roast duck, charred octopus, or aubergine and lentil moussaka.
