The Kennedy is a classic blend of old vine Barossa Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre varieties. Named as a tribute to the legendary Barossa Vigneron's who pioneered the planting of the old treasured vineyards,which the Barossa enjoys today. The Grenache fruit is the 'soul' of this blend and is from an exceptionally low yielding 50+ year-old Light Pass vineyard.
Deep crimson in colour this wine is bursting with ripe cherry, blackcurrants and complex five-spice aromas. The palate is an intriguing blend of red-fruit flavours and savoury undertones supported by a rounded and fleshy mid palate. The wine finishes with excellent length and freshness which ensures optimum drinking upon release but will mature well for the medium term.
Dense crimson-red colour, seems heavy in the glass. There's graphite and iodine, intense red and black berries, some alcohol heat too. Young. Entirely different when sipped - ripe, rich, and instantly accessible. Fruit purity a standout feature. Needs a little more time to sing in its best voice. 17 MAR 2020 Drink 2021–2028
