Description

If you needed more proof that Blewitt Springs is the "Grand Cru" of Australian Grenache, this is it. Louis Schofield has crafted a wine that perfectly captures the "pinosity" of the variety - that rare ability of Grenache to deliver the haunting perfume and elegance of something like Pinot Noir or Nebbiolo when treated with respect.

Sourced from the Brini family vineyard, these 80-year-old dry-grown bush vines sit deep in the famous sandy soils of the sub-region. The winemaking is delicate and intentional, with a careful inclusion of whole bunches providing a fine skeletal structure to the fruit.

The result is lean, racy, and incredibly bright. It is a wine that dances across the palate with a weightless quality, offering fragrant floral aromatics dusted with spice. "Crunchy" and exuberant, this is the style of low-alcohol Grenache that we could literally drink all day. With only 141 six-packs produced, it is one of the team's absolute favourites of the year—and it won’t last long.

"There’s a lightness of touch here, a transparency of expression, the tannins ultra-fine, quietly going about their job, the texture a silky glide, absent heft or fat. It’s a very good release."
- Marcus Ellis (Halliday Wine Companion)

A small batch of grenache from the Brini family vineyard's dry grown, 80 year old bush vines on sand in Blewitt Springs. Careful inclusion of a portion of whole bunches gives the wine structure, one of our absolute favourite wines of this year. 141 six packs made in 2024

Worlds Apart

Worlds Apart is the small adventurous label of winemaker Louis Schofield and chef Hannah Jeffery.

Louis was the protege and assistant winemaker of the late Taras Ochota. From the Ochota Barrels wine studio Louis sharpened his winemaking skills and attacks the World Apart wines with a similar low-intervention but high attention to detail philosophy.

The grapes come from small local growers who farm with a sustainable ideology. These are small-batch, high-energy wines that pop out of the glass with loads of personality.
