Former Gourmet Traveller WINE Winemaker of the Year and two-time Jimmy Watson Memorial Trophy winner Stephen Pannell loves working with Grenache, and is justly seen as one of Australia's foremost proponents with the grape. This juicy, vibrant, drink-now style is 100% Grenache from Blewitt Springs and McLaren Vale. Hand harvested at 13.5 Baumé. Free run juice with minimal pressings vinified, with malolactic fermentation in stainless steel and only 25ppm liquid sulphur dioxide added through the process. Raised in 2500L French vats for six months, racked and sent to bottle without filtration.The wine shows fresh-fruit aromas of bright red berries and watermelon, with a touch of rose petal and musk leading on to a plush and juicy palate. It's youthful, medium-bodied and lively, with a long, succulent finish bolstered by sandy tannins and a hint of dark spice.

The wines hallmark is its freshness due to no oak ageing and as the name describes it is a wine best drunk in its youth, poured by the glass at your favourite restaurant.

Brothers at War Fist Fight Barossa Shiraz This wine is a blend of individual Shiraz parcels from vineyards throughout Barossa and Eden Valley. The fruit is mostly destemmed and crushed into one-tonne open-top fermenters with a small component of whole bunch. The fruit is kept cool for five days before being allowed to warm up naturally to start the fermentation process. After two weeks on skins and hand plunged daily, the wines are pressed to French oak hogsheads (20% new) to be raised for a year before bottling without fining or filtration.

Equal parts powerful and elegant, this is outstanding shiraz. You can always rely on Soul Growers to deliver quality over and above- and the Esperanza shiraz does that tenfold. Each drop of wine can be traced back to the ground it came from- literally. Working with some of the valley's best growers year on year on year (for decades) consistency and quality is at the heart of this winery. A symphony of violets and plums, with gentle hums of baking spice and anise complimenting this generously fruited drop.
