About The Wine
Old vine Barossa Grenache is one of Ruby and Craig's true passions.
The vineyard that supplies them the fruit for this wine is located in the Greenock sub-region on the Western side of the Barossa. These gnarled old bush vines were planted in 1920, today they yield fruit that is vibrant and perfumed - old vines making youthful wines.
They treat it gently in the winery. The fruit is mostly destemmed then aged in decade old hogshead barrels. These inert vessels impart virtually no flavour on the wine so all you see is pure Barossa Grenache in all its rosy glory.
The couple sum it up well, "it is a wine for ‘drinkin, not thinkin’ – just a celebration of pure, delicious old vine Barossa Grenache."

From The Producer
Hand-picked it is firstly destemmed, though we do add whole bunches to the ferment depending on vintage. It is gently plunged by hand twice a day retaining the wines perfume and detail before ageing in seasoned, 10+ year old French oak hogshead barrels.
The result, we are sure you’ll agree is worth the extra care in the winery.

Critic Reviews
"There is a stunning vibrancy to its hue and the wine leaps out of the glass with aromas of plum, cherry, Asian spice, purple flowers, gingerbread and wafts of gentle oak. It’s spacious and airy on the palate, with pure, delicious fruit and an energetic spark that drives it across the palate. Gentle in the tannin department, it is a wine for ‘drinkin, not thinkin’ – just a celebration of pure, delicious old vine Barossa Grenache." - Arno Wine Co.

I am trying to add more of a wine to my cart but it won’t let me? This means we are running low on stock of that wine.
