Grenache
2023, Barossa
Winemakers Tasting Notes
This wine has a delightful aroma of strawberries and cream, balanced by warm vanilla spice and hints of cinnamon and gingernut biscuit. Delicate rose florals add a soft touch. The palate features flavors of raspberry and strawberry, with vanilla cream and juicy, vibrant mid-palate. Subtle vanilla oak enhances the rich red fruit without overpowering. Soft chalky tannins provide a balanced mouthfeel. Enjoy this Grenache now or cellar until 2029 and beyond.
REGION
Sourced from a mix of family-owned and grower vineyards throughout central and southern Barossa including long-term growers like the Semmler family. Our family-owned vineyards are predominantly bush vine grown, including some of the oldest vines in the Barossa.
VINTAGE SUMMARY
The 2023 growing season in the Barossa was warmer than average, leading to steady vine development and early ripening. Cool nights helped retain acidity and balance in the fruit. Moderate rainfall provided sufficient water without excessive vigour. Timely harvests were crucial to capture peak flavors and maintain acid balance. The result is a vintage with vibrant fruit flavors, excellent varietal definition, and outstanding quality, reflecting careful vineyard management.
MATURATION
Half the volume of this wine is matured in 2500 litres French Oak Foudres, with the rest spending 8-9 months in barrels of various ages.
