Exceptional old vine fruit was selected to create this premium wine, you will discover new fresh and vibrant flavours from these 70+ year old vines, so exciting and complex that they almost jump out of the bottle. This is why we selected the Australian 'Zork' closure to contain this extraordinary Grenache.

Tasting Notes December 2006
Colour Deep Purple
Nose Ripe fruit characters with some dusty oak evidence
Palate Excellent fruit flavours dominate a full palate and the soft tannin finish makes this a very complete wine
Potential Medium term cellaring will add further complexity to a very will balanced wine
