Barossa Valley grenache, partial whole-bunch and 12 months maturation in old French oak puncheons. Light crimson with ginger spiced red and dark plum fruits with hints of dried meats, jasmine and orange blossom, dried citrus fruits, earth and licorice. Medium-bodied with fine, sandy tannins and a bright disposition finishing savoury and spicy with a plume of pure red fruits. Great drinking.

The fruit here was harvested from specially selected rows in the Hueppauff vineyard (which is apparently pronounced as hip-off, as if you didn’t know), which is located next to Chateau Tanunda. Fermentation includes partial whole bunches and then a year’s maturation in older French oak puncheons. Grenache is the hot flavour of the month for a very good reason. 2,000 cases.
The colour here is a blood red/garnet. Classic Grenache and utterly delicious. A fine example to show anyone keen to see what a good Grenache is like. Strawberries, cherries, warm earth, florals and red fruits. A little chocolate. A juicy palate with silky tannins. This is bright and energetic with very good length. A good future here, at least ten to twelve years of pleasure
