Old Vine 2023

Grenache

Luckily, we have access to very small parcels of fruit from old, dry-grown, hand-pruned/picked vineyards of up to 166 years of age. We decided early on that making a Grenache the way Barossan families made table wines many generations ago would honour the years of back-breaking work that went into keeping the vineyards feasible and sustainable. Whole-bunch ferments, no crushing or temperature control, natural yeasts, hand-plunged and foot-trodden. GOLD & 95Pts Halliday Grenache Challenge.

Tasting Notes

“Medium red with purple tints in the rim, the bouquet sweetly fragrant, raspberry confections, boiled lolly, bonbon, with a patina of dried herbs, while the palate is intense and backed by fine, emery-like tannins that dry the finish. Good length. 
An elegant, mid-weight, fruit-driven style with the potential to build more charm in time and has the backbone to cope with quite hearty foods.” 93 Pts
Huon Hooke – The Real Review
“I’m thinking raspberry, red liquorice, mint, ginger biscuits, curry spice, and a sort of rose oil perfume. It’s medium-bodied, a bit sappy and amaro-laced, almond is in the mix, and it’s quite spicy too, with something of a mulchy character and poached strawberries. Sooty tannin is a thing. The finish has some blood orange tang and bitterness, but gee, it’s wine that presents a cooler expression of Barossa Grenache.” 91 Pts
