A heavyweight Grenache from a small winery in the dress circle of the Barossa Valley at Marananga. It’s rich, dark and brooding; very rare to find a Grenache with such depth and intensity, and grip on the finish. There is some softness as well, which makes it enjoyable already with a good piece of steak, but I suspect it will benefit from a few years in a dark place. Outstanding red.

Seductively perfumed, this is beautifully styled and composed with Black Doris plum, blueberry, violet, vanilla and spicy oak aromas on the nose. It's silky-smooth and generously textured in the mouth offering core of sweet fruit flavours with a spicy overtone backed by beautifully melded tannins. Wonderful expression of the variety with loads of appeal. At its best: now to 2035.

Deep purple colour, clove-like spices, the palate is red and black fruits, with a spicy medium body and fine powdery tannins that linger forever!

Sourced from a three vineyards all 80+ year old vines in Seppeltsfield, Nuriootpa and Gomersal. With soil types ranging from sand on clay, brown loam and red clay dirt on clay.

Serious wines can handle serious time, personally I prefer the earlier side of the drinking window so any time from now to 2030+.
