Vine Vale Grenache

Grenache 2025

$40
750mL Bottle
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.

Tasting Note The nose is intense and expressive, opening with pomegranate, strawberry leaf and fresh raspberry, layered with nuances of wet river stones and fine savoury characters. Subtle notes of roasted coriander seed and bay leaf add complexity and intrigue. The palate is vibrant and finely detailed, driven by pure red fruits and a silky, flowing texture. There’s a moreish quality throughout, a gentle viscosity, balanced by salivating acidity that carries the wine. Elegant yet energetic, the wine leans toward finesse and perfume while retaining the generosity and warmth of Barossa Grenache.
Treatment The two blocks were wild fermented together with 20% whole bunch fruit, resulting in this outstanding expression of Vine Vale Grenache. Matured for 8 months in mature French oak puncheons.
