Description

After making wines with Marco Cirillo in the Barossa Valley, winemaker Sierra Reed became enchanted with the beauty of old vine Barossa Grenache.

When looking for some fruit to craft her own version, she approached the Ahrens Family for some of their gorgeous fruit from their 100+-year-old Schlieb’s Garden vineyard in the Vine Vale pocket of the Barossa.

She made it just like she makes her Gamay in Beaujolais - bright, crunchy and effortless to drink.

"I call this wine a “Lune Croissant” because of its endless layers and flavour but its ability to be a light as a feather on the palate all the while never lacking in depth, magic trick of a wine."
- Sierra Reed

    Not my Favourite Granache

    A bit flat. Not as bright and juicy as other Barossa Valley Grenache from my experience.

Schlieb’s Garden Vineyard, Vine Vale,
Barossa Valley SA

Delicate and haunting in the front of the palate followed by layer after layer of bright red fruits and crushed rose. Time on lees has helped create a soft and creamy texture to the wine with an essence of baked custard tart. The framework is very airy with present but integrated tannins and sherbet like tartness. I call this wine a “Lune Croissant” because of its endless layers and flavour but its ability to be a light as a feather on the palate all the while never lacking in depth, magic trick of a wine.
