Bruno & George Old Vine Grenache, Barossa Valley Grenache is arguably the most exciting grape variety on Australian shores of late and indisputably the cultivar that bodes best for an increasingly challenged climate. Responsible for a number of stylistic interpretations, Australian Grenache has traditionally been round, generous and fruity, with an emphasis on wild strawberry, kirsch and Turkish Delight aromas. Bruno & Georges Joh Norman and his deep understanding of Spanish iterations of the variety, however, delivers a far more savoury experience that challenges the worlds best. Think riffs on wild strawberry, thyme, lavender and a weave of spindly tannins, firm and edgy, that serve as a legacy of vast international experience and the sort of confident extraction that comes with it.

MUNDA WINES Ngadjuri and Peramangk Country Grenache, Barossa Valley, Eden Valley Munda chooses minimal intervention in the winery, and prefers to bottle relatively early to reflect the brightness of their wines. The use of wild ferment, a combination of older French oak and stainless steel for maturation gives the wine pretty and immediately expressive, multi layered aromas of raspberry, dried cherries, lifted spices and rhubarb. Medium bodied with layers of tannins and savoury earthy flavours balanced with textured waves of spicy fruit. Complex, soft on the palate with a fineness and elegance counterbalanced with generosity and depth of texture that speaks of its munda (land or country).

Family Vignerons for seven generations, dating back to 1840's when Johann George Mattner first pioneered land on the banks of Jacobs Creek, Barossa Valley. Grandfather entrusted myself to carry forward this legacy, that become apparent when I inherited a collection of family history books, handwritten notes and winemaking journals dating back to early last century. Inspired by this collection of generational knowledge, we crafted these wines to honour tradition and carry forward our family legacy. Our Grenache wines are small batch production with only 509 cases produced. Single vineyard fruit was carefully selected from Southern Barossa Valley sub-region of Lyndoch, then guided through the vinification process. Handcrafted with minimal intervention winemaking methods and attention to detail. Gentle destemming some whole bunch inclusion, wild ferment, maceration and gravitational transfer into an old basket press for gentle extraction of colour and tannin.

Light to medium density with bright red hues. Lifted red berry, bramble, cherry fruit notes – very attractive aromas. The palate starts out with crunchy red fruits complimented by the whole bunch used in fermentation and the French oak used. Lovely ripe tannins with a fresh acid backbone to carry the flavours right to the finish. The lingering after taste makes for a very enjoyable Pinot Noir.

Built with freshness and vibrancy in mind, this leaps with wild strawberries and red licorice with undercurrents of Grenache’s signature sweet boiled candy generosity all elevated by an invigorating menthol lift. There’s a spritz, a chew and an exceptional juiced-up drinkability.

This is a big deal. The term 'Ancestor Vines' is reserved only for vineyards planted over 125 years ago. This places them as right up there with some of the oldest living grenache vines in the entire world, and in this case, thanks to the meticulous work of Maverick Wines, they absolutely live up to the hype. As a general rule, the older the vines, the better the wines. But why? Well, the simplified answer is that as grape vines mature they begin to produce less fruit. As a result, all of the energy, all of the sun and soil, all of the flavour is condensed into less grapes, so you end up with highly concentrated, perfectly balanced fruit with the capacity to create extremely low quantity, extremely high quality wines that could out-last religion. An exquisite texture unfolds across your palate, each sip revealing new depths while maintaining that stunning fruit purity that separates the good from the genuinely great. Persistent, velvety, and utterly mesmerising - the kind that of wine that lingers on your palate long after the glass is empty, and lingers on your mind even longer.
