Critic Reviews
95 Points - James Halliday, Wine Companion
“Pure dark fruits abound in the bouquet, with an intriguing Provincial herb complexity, offset by ironstone minerality; long, luscious, pure and poised, and given the 26 months in French oak barriques, is a massive departure from traditional Barossa grenache.”
93 Points - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front
“Bush vine grenache. Single vineyard. Some whole bunches and all French oak. For all the talk of the ageability of Oz grenache on this site of late, here’s a grenache that will take age well. It will be fascinating to see what happens to it’s in-built complexity over time. Undergrowth, bright raspberries, dry spices – it’s fresh and fruity but packs a serious, savoury punch. Very fine tannin. Profoundly smooth texture. Satisfying length. High quality.”
