Sourced from the old, sandy Blewitt Springs Home Block of Sue Trott. Fermented wild, with attenuated maceration in eggs and the inclusion of 30% whole bunches imparting turmeric, sandalwood, cardamon scents and finely wrought, granular tannins akin to nebbiolo. Real pinosity and sap to this. Succulent notes of kirsch, fecund strawberry and anise. A parry of tension and thrust of gentle sweetness. Remarkable freshness. A wine that places domestic grenache among the world's best.

Very old vines in Blewitt Springs.
Cherry, sage and dried roses, spicy biscuits, with a subtle earthy character. Ripe, intense red fruit and cherry flavour, sprinkled with dried herbs, almost gravelly tannin, fresh acidity, a fair amount of mouth-perfume, and a spicy poached strawberry finish of excellent length. Outstanding.

Deep yet bright ruby-red colour into a vibrant purple rim. Blackberries, lavender leaf, and iodine on the nose. An intense grenache that is has remarkable power without sitting heavy. Savoury umami layers sit underneath purple and blue fruits. A hint of acidity gives lift and firm guiding tannins carry it long to the dry finish
