Our Grenache vines have grown for over 90 years on a contoured hill, and have seen tastes change from rich, sweet fortifieds to this modern, aromatic and spicy medium-bodied Grenache.

Vintage Conditions

The 2023 vintage will be remembered by many as a challenging year in the vineyard, especially during Spring with regular rain events causing increased disease pressure. Thankfully, McLaren Vale's vicinity to the ocean prevailed with sea breezes reducing mildew outbreaks. Vintage began 2-3 weeks later than a 'normal' vintage, with yields lower than average. The slow ripening and cool temperatures provided fantastic colour in reds.

Maker Notes

Vineyards harvested in sections, which were vinified separately and matured in old French oak for 12 months.
