First produced in 1988, Nine Popes is regarded as the wine that kick started the Grenache revival in Australia in the late 1980's / 1990's
Inspired by the classic 'GSM' blends of Châteauneuf-Du-Pape, it stands as a beacon of quality amongst other great 'GSM' blends and is a classic example of quality dry grown, old vines in the Barossa Valley.
“Charlie Melton, one of the Barossa Valley's great characters, with wife Virginia by his side, makes some of the most eagerly sought after à la mode wines’ in Australia.”

Critic Reviews
92 Points - James Halliday, Wine Companion
“Complex, ripe, but not jammy; very good structure to the medium-bodied, multi-fruit and spice flavours; good extract and oak.”
93 Points - Campbell Mattison, The Wine Front
“Top notch. Presenting beautifully. Spicy and sweet and velvety, with barely a hint of oak anywhere to be seen and a healthy, handsome dose of earthen, licoricey, raspberried fruit richness. It tastes gorgeous, and even leaves a minerally aftertaste. What a beauty.”
92 Points - Josh Reynolds, Vinous
“(50% grenache, 45% syrah and 5% mourvedre) Dark red. Sexy bouquet of raspberry, blackberry, smoked meat, fresh flowers and pungent herbs. Deep red berry flavors offer excellent palate-coating intensity and admirable clarity, gaining sweetness on the back end. There's a pinot-like silkiness to this already tasty wine. Raspberry echoes on the long finish.”
