Description

A tiny production wine, this Grenache was hand-picked and partially whole-bunch fermented while being aged in a ceramic egg.

A silky smooth wine, there is something about the use of ceramics and concrete in fermentation that adds a really unique textural element to wines that we just don’t see with traditional vessels such as oak and steel.

Purple in colour, and in fruit, the wine has pretty florals and a killer spice element, that once again showcases why Grenache is such a great variety, that can appeal to both ends of the wine-drinking spectrum.

"These Brothers at War cats do a good job with grenache. They give it some space and room to move. Let some light in, y'know? Mouthfeel-wise it's got more in common with a beefy pinot. The fruit is all plums and raspberry, studded with exotic spice, amaro herbs, pressed purple flowers, sarsaparilla, ginger cake and cola. Savoury with just a touch of Rhôney meatiness; tannins fine and powdery and plenty of nervy good-vibes. It's good stuff."

    Smooth and delicious

    Love Grenache and this one did not disappoint. Would buy it again.

Growing up amongst Barossa’s old vine Grenache, the Brothers’ developed a mutual respect for their history and the wines they produce. With this in mind, Grenache is undoubtedly the peacekeeper of the Brothers’ wars.

Brothers At War

Angus and Sam Wardlaw are the ‘Brothers at War’, starting off with a tonne of grapes, and an idea to produce unique expressions of the region they call home.

Second-generation winemakers, they lean heavily on the knowledge gained from a childhood spent around their father, Barossa pioneer, David Wardlaw.

Working across the Barossa and Eden Valleys, the brothers produce a swath of wines; young fresh easy-drinking styles, to much more serious, old-vine expressions.

Warring brothers at times perhaps, but when push comes to shove, like the Dire Straits song says, “You did not desert me, my brother(s) in arms.”
