The vineyard resources in the Barossa are truly extraordinary and rarely are they
shown to such advantage as with this range from Château Tanunda. The Grenache
vines providing the fruit here, in the Stonegarden Vineyard in Eden Valley, were
planted in 1858. Low yielding, naturally, the wine spent a year and a half maturing
in a mix of new and older French oak. The wine has the additional benefit of coming
from an excellent vintage for the region. Only 700 bottles made. Under cork. A ruby/
crimson colour, the nose provides notes of strawberries, kirsch, wild raspberries,
dried herbs, tobacco leaves, charcuterie and aniseed. Gorgeous aromas they are,
and certainly a highlight, but the wine continues to impress on the palate, which
is seamless, supple and offers wonderful length. Fine line of acidity runs the full
journey, through to silky tannins. A brilliant Grenache for enjoying over the next
12–15 years. Drink now–2040
