Grenache was one of the first varieties to be introduced to Australia in the 18th century and eventually became the country's most widely planted red wine grape variety until it was surpassed by Shiraz in the mid 1960s.
A garnacha foi unha das primeiras variedades que chegou a Australia no século XVIII e, finalmente, converteuse na variedade de uva de viño tinto máis plantada do país até  ser superada pola syrah a mediados de 1960.
