Vinification

Small open fermenter, indigenous yeast, hand-plunging & pump-overs.

Vintage Notes

In 2023, we focused on the warmer sites due to the mild and humid conditions that prevailed over most of the growing season. The final Old Vine Grenache blend hails from the Riebke vineyard of Ebenezer (1950) which is planted on sandy soils over deep clay. There’s a touch of Mataro from Nuriootpa (1965) used to complete the blend.

Winemakers Comments

I am privileged to work with small parcels of fruit from old, dry-grown, hand pruned and picked vineyards across the Barossa. In 2009, I decided to make Grenache the way Barossan families made table wines many generations ago, to honour the years of back-breaking work required for keeping the bush-vine vineyards feasible and sustainable. The use of the word ‘Old Vine’ shows respect to the Barossa Old Vine Charter which was set up to celebrate and maintain the truly special sites of the Barossa.

Region Notes

Ebenezer Vineyard at 320m elevation on grey/white sand over orange/red clay. Red to brown clay loam & de-composed granitic loam, quartz & ironstone.

    Grenache with a 3% splash of mataro for good measure, sourced from out Ebenezer way in the north. It's a pretty little thing with aromas of wild strawberry, plum, raspberry and dried cranberry with underlying hints of gingerbread, exotic spice, orange blossom, dried citrus rind and turned earth. Plenty of space and detail on the palate with fine, silty tannins, pure, spicy fruit and just the right amount of cut and drive. It's delicious, and tremendous value to boot. Points: 94/100
