Handcrafted from our old vine Grenache block, Vine Vale Grenache is all about the subtlety of whole bunch fermentation. A wine with alluring fragrance, it is complex, savoury and fruit driven. Generous and bright through the palate with a crunch of acidity surrounding the juicy middle palate that Grenache aficionados will love.
Tasting Note Bright ruby purple in colour. The initial cedar and herbaceous aromatics open into inviting fragrances of pink grapefruit, red cherry and blueberry. The palate is plush, juicy and succulent. Red and blue fruits are entwined in delicious flavours with bright acidity and fine, powdery tannins.
Terroir This old vine Grenache was crafted from three blocks on our Tri-Centenary Vineyard, planted in 1929, 1949 and 1979, in the tiny Barossa Valley subregion of Vine Vale. The vineyard features deep sandy loam layers underlain with red-brown clay. These soils tend to be deep, holding an abundance of water that is essential for early season growth. With careful management these dry grown vines, in low organic matter soils, can consistently produce outstanding quality fruit.
Treatment The three blocks were wild fermented together with 30% whole bunch fruit, resulting in this outstanding expression of Vine Vale Grenache. The wine was then matured for 6 months in mature French oak puncheons.

Whole-bunch grenache from Vine Vale, aged for 8 months in old French oak hogsheads. A wonderful, bunchy grenache that ticks all the boxes...very comfortable in its own skin. Balanced tannins and on-point acidity provide structure and cadence. Effortless drinking.
