Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: full-bodied, medium tannin, medium acidity, dry
This is a benchmark Barossa Grenache from some of the world's oldest surviving vines, planted around 1850. It shows the concentration and dried-fruit richness typical of ancient dry-grown vines, layered with kirsch, chocolate and earthy spice, all wrapped in soft, well-integrated tannins. Rich and warming, yet with enough savoury complexity to keep it from feeling heavy.
Serving: Serve at 16–18 °C.
