Origin: Australia Terroir: Barossa Valley Grenache has been an integral variety in the Barossa since the early days of grape growing in the region. Traditionally used for fortified wines, Grenache was very much battered by the vine pull scheme of the 1970s. Today, it is easy to make the case that Grenache blended with its brethren of Shiraz and Mourvedre are the up and coming stars of the Barossa. Partnered alongside the best Shiraz, Grenache blends can make a significant one-two combination punch to ensure the world sits up and listens! Our vineyard, located in Greenock in the west of the Barossa Valley, has plantings back to 1915 and a terroir that has been in demand by many of the Barossa’s elite winemakers. Yields are very low, to ensure that the younger vines remain healthy and have the vitality to produce exceptional fruit that belies their age (vine age 19-44 years).
