64% Grenache, 30% Shiraz, 6% Mataro

The 2023 vintage was cool, with average day time temperatures significantly below the long term average. These temperatures resulted in a very late harvest window that extended into the first half of April for all the Grenache parcels.

AROMA - Perfumed primary fruits of spice, raspberry, blueberry fruit with mineral undertones intertwined.

TASTE - Defined pure linear red berry fruits and complexing graphite minerality, culminating in chalky tannins and fresh acidity; delightful and moreish.

95 Points – Tyson Stelzer - www.tysonstelzer.com “This is serious GSM for the long-haul, crafted with all the fine-tuned engineering of the Jacob’s Creek red winemaking team. Two-thirds grenache provides the raspberry and wild strawberry core, while almost one-third shiraz lends a dense core of black cherry and satsuma plum, with a dash of mataro bringing depth to its firm, fine tannin profile. High class oak rises to the challenge, confirming its endurance.”

94 Points - Ken Gargett - Wine Pilot “This Rhone-style blend is comprised of 64% Grenache, 30% Shiraz and 6% Mataro, which has been sourced from three Barossa Valley vineyards. The Grenache is from especially old vines, ranging in age from sixty to a hundred years. A vibrant purple hue, we have notes of red cherries, plums, mulberries, raspberries and some warm earth notes with a minerally backing. This is young but already delicious drinking. Medium bodied, balanced and providing joy now but with time ahead. Juicy in style and so much to like here, drink now for the next five to six years.”
