The 2019 vintage was again superb in the Barossa, producing rich, intense, fruit-packed red wines with freshness and balance. This Old Vine Grenache is made from a single vineyard planted in 1935 as bush vines on the Kalleske farm. The vineyard soil is shallow sand with light clay subsoil and the grapes are entirely dry-grown ensuring intensely flavoured fruit.
The wine is enticing and energetic with aromas of ripe raspberry, sweet spice, sandalwood, red liquorice, lavender and a touch of mint. The palate is soft, rich and full-flavoured. Plush varietal Grenache fruit is intense with juicy flavours of black cherry and spice. Natural tannins give a fine backbone and flawless structure. The wine is rich throughout; from the grand start to its lengthy finish, it exudes old vine Grenache character.
