A tribute to Barossa’s remarkable old-vine heritage, this remarkable Grenache comes from a vineyard planted in 1850. It’s a model of purring, beautifully balanced concentration, with fragrant bramble-bush fruit, red liquorice and rosemary, a sprinkle of fine tannin and a long cherry-and-gently peppered finish. Outstanding.
