Rusden, Barossa Valley, South Australia
"We believe that we are custodians of the land. Our job is to care for it as best we can and pass it down from one generation to the next. We also pass down the traditions that were taught to us by our forebears.
We tend the vineyard by hand, and more recently as our winery has grown, we adhere to traditional methods in the cellar. Our focus is on traditional Barossa varieties and blends, however we are not afraid to give different varieties a go as Australia’s wine industry is still in its infancy. Our vineyard is in Vine Vale; our terroir is deep white sand over red clay. We believe that Vine Vale is the most versatile and consistent grape growing district on the Barossa Valley floor. Our wines have a unique character with balance and structure."
'Christine's Vineyard' Grenache 2021
"Growing up as a kid, I remember this as my Mum’s favourite block. It was the acre of vines she always saved for last. So, being special to her, it was the block I first started making into wine. My favourite wines come from Grenache grown on sandy soils the world over. Christine’s Vineyard lies in the heart of the deep Vine Vale sand resulting in a wine that is typically very aromatic, lifted and spicy and having been traditionally made is a very pure expression of the variety. It is the work horse of our region just like Mum’s generation of determined and resilient grape growers."
Tasting Notes
Sour cherry, spice, floral tones, with a slight sweetness on the nose. The palate is delicate as Grenache should be with white pepper, cherry and red fruits. Light on its feet, but beautifully poised with great purity.
