Fermented in half-tonne batches with 20% whole bunches, half the batches left on skins for 6 weeks, left on lees in barrel until bottling. Bright, clear crimson; like all the Paisley wines, very well made in the context of micro-vinification. Raspberry, morello cherry and a touch of nougat fill the mouth, generating some warmth in the process, fine tannins the counterpoint.

An exciting new estate from an experienced couple, this elegant and characterful grenache is the child of 70 year old vines in the southern Barossa. Blue fruits and spice coalesce in a style of impressive structure, the seamless union between bright acidity and finely structured tannins, with just the right touch of whole bunch fermentation leading complexity and integrity.
