Tasting Notes

Deep purple with bright red hue. Aromatic and enticing with layers of fresh mulberries, black cherry, and musk, complexed by notes of Turkish delight and baking spices. Black fruits fill the mouth with expansive length. Nuances of flavour emerge, with chocolate malt supporting the generous fruit. A nerve of bright natural acidity heightens and drives the palate, complemented by finely knit, powdery tannins.

Product Highlights

These Grenache vines went into the ground in 1900. More than 120 years later, they still give their owners a single-vineyard wine worth chasing. The vineyard is dry-grown, farmed without irrigation so the vines find their own balance. 2023 tested Barossa growers. Spring brought plenty of rain, and picking started weeks later than usual. The critics loved what came off these old vines anyway. Ken Gargett’s 96 points came with notes of strawberry, cranberry, coffee grinds, dried herbs and smoked meat. He found the tannins both silky and silty. Sam Kim matched his score, calling it opulent and complex but refined. Dave Brookes picked up red plum, raspberry, gingerbread and dried orange rind, with a saline, lip-smacking finish. Expect mulberry, black cherry and musk, with Turkish delight and baking spice. The palate is expansive, with powdery tannins and a nerve of bright acidity driving it. It’s old-vine Barossa Grenache at its most perfumed. Gargett’s drinking window runs to 2034, so it’s as happy opened tonight as it is in a few years.
