Sorby AdamsLassell Barossa Grenache 2021
About this product
This collection honors our ancestor, John Couch Adams, who, along with fellow mathematicians, proved the existence of the planet Neptune in the 1840s.
His name is immortalized in one of Neptune's five rings.
Lassell is another ring of Neptune and is our signature Barossa old vine Grenache crafted from gnarly bush vines planted in the 1890s.
The wine has a deep ruby color with a red-brick edge. On the palate, it offers fragrant flavours of wild strawberry and cranberry, complemented by a hint of orange zest and accompanied by other aromatic berries, leading to a creamy finish.
It has been matured for 18 months in French oak hogsheads (30% new), coopered using 4-year air-dried wood by Francois Frere and Taransaud Coopers.
The grapes are sourced from the multi-generational Riebke family vineyard in the Ebenezer district of Barossa.
This wine is enjoyable now and has the potential to age beautifully until 2033. This wine is sealed with QORK.

A gorgeous expression, this is stylish and complex on the nose showing sweet cherry, game, cedar and dark cocoa aromas, followed by a succulent palate offering excellent weight and fleshy texture backed by refined tannins. Beautifully flowing with expansive mouthfeel, finishing with sustained delicious flavours. At its best: now to 2033.

Opens with a floral fragrant mix of strawberry and spicy leather which is very much about this variety while a perfumed trace of rose petal adds further complexity. The palate is smoothly integrated and medium to full bodied; dig deep and you get a little blood orange. It is so seamlessly structured with a thread of grainy tannins providing a beautiful feel on the palate.
