This rare Grenache has lovely aromas of musk and boiled lollies, with a hint of earthiness and dried herb. Balanced, elegant, and textural, 2022 Grenache SBE presents the complete package. Where Grenache SBO (oak barrel maturation) is upfront and bold, Grenache SBE shows restraint and focus, with a textural weight that defines its identity.

This rare Grenache has a beautiful perfume lift of wild boysenberry, rhubarb and pomegranate. On the palate, Grenache SBO is bursting with vibrant berry flavours of red cherry and raspberry. Deliciously creamy and focused with soft plush fruit that entwines the purity of Grenache

Clarendon Hills is renowned for its dedication to single-vineyard expressions, and the Kangarilla Vineyard Old Vine Grenache is a standout example. Sourced from mature bush vines in McLaren Vale, this wine reflects both site and variety with clarity. The low-yielding vines produce concentrated fruit, hand-harvested to preserve integrity. Winemaker Roman Bratasiuk employs traditional techniques, including whole-bunch inclusion and extended maceration, followed by ageing in seasoned French oak to highlight structure and complexity without overpowering the fruit. Each vintage offers a distinct profile, yet a core character remains consistent: aromas of red berries, cherry and subtle spice, leading to a palate with supple texture and fine tannins. Earthy undertones and a savoury edge bring depth and balance. This Grenache is crafted to express the vineyard’s history and McLaren Vale’s potential for producing wines of remarkable longevity and appeal to collectors and drinkers alike.

We were blessed with a spectacular vintage in 2013 - the reds will be talked about for along time! Low cropping with great intensity. The old vine shiraz fruit from the 1948 planted vines always delivers, and 2013 is no exception. We are very happy with the resultant wines from this old block of Shiraz in 2013, and we hope you will be too.

Select parcels of premium McLaren Vale Shiraz were chosen from 4 different vineyards for this wine, each being crushed separately. Following extended barrel fermentation over 18 months, the four parcels were blended to create this superb wine.

The Trott vineyard is situated 21Om above sea level, on the moderate to steep hills of Blewitt Springs next to the Onkaparinga Gorge.
