CIRILLO 1850 Ancestor Vine Grenache, Barossa Valley

The Cirillo Estate Ancestor 1850 Vine Grenache is grown from bush vines planted on sandy soils situated in the old Siegersdorf or Light Pass area of the Barossa Valley. The wine has aromas of dark berry fruit and dried herbs with assorted spices pervading. The palate is complex, medium to full‐bodied with intense yet subtle, delicate flavours of cherry, aniseed, white pepper and savoury notes. There is an old-world charm about this wine, with savoury notes of leather and tobacco. The wine is matured in aged seasoned hogsheads for 24 months. Try it with gnocchi, roast lamb or duck.

100% Grenache, made from a single plot of ripe Barossa fruit. Typically pretty and expressive on the nose, with a palate full of raspberry and spice supported by a backbone of grippy tannins.

Lone Palm Vineyard Grenache was hand picked from gnarly 80 year old vines, slowly naturally fermented to create an ethereal wine that pays full respect to it’s place. Bottled unfinned and unfiltered to maintain vineyard purity.

The inspiration from the Barossas best old vine Grenache vineyards created Annexus, an addition to our Plexus blend. Annexus is a small unique blend selected from our best old low yielding Grenache vineyards, made only in the best years. Winemaking: Fermentation in small open top fermenters incorporating 20% whole bunches. Oak Maturation: 100% barrel maturated for 12 months, in older French oak hogsheads (300-litre barrels). Colour: Vibrant purple-red. Nose: Perfumed fruit aromatics complexed with savoury spice and charcuterie notes. Palate: Generous and rich and structured with texture and impressive flavour intensity. An array of red fruits, plum and raspberry fill the palate.

Grenache has long been a stalwart of the South Australian wine scene and Penfolds have been blending Grenache with Shiraz since the 1950's.

Going from strength to strength, this particular wine is quickly gathering momentum as one of the stand-out releases in the Bin series.
