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
95 Points - Joe Czerwinski, Wine Enthusiast
“Charles Melton’s Nine Popes (grenache, shiraz, mataro) blend is in fine form. Complex and meaty, flushed with chunky raspberried, blackberried, boysenberried fruit flavour and yet long, fine and structured, too. A powerful wine with the texture to thrill as a young wine, and the length and finesse and tannin to perform excellently in the cellar. Not plush or plump, but significant in its sense of fruit power.”
96 Points - James Halliday, Wine Companion
“A synergistic blend (Shiraz/Grenache) in this wine with no confection characters whatsoever; has wonderful texture in the layers of black and red fruits, oak and tannins in a calibrated support role.”
