“Love it. Glad I found this wine. Good Value.” - JancisRobinson.com

If there were a device that could measure value and you pointed it at this wine, it would overheat. The quality is truly astonishing for the price. The Grenache grapes were hand-picked from gnarly, 90-year-old vines in Seppeltsfield on Barossa’s western ridge, then fermented with indigenous yeasts, with 20% whole-bunch fruit, and the remainder destemmed, before being gently basket-pressed into seasoned French oak hogsheads where it matured for 12 months. There is nothing about that sentence that says £15.95 and there is nothing £15.95 about the way it tastes either. Decanter Magazine awarded it 95 points and you can read about what the judges had to say below. It’s rich in spiced cherry and black plum flavours, with a smooth palate that offers ripeness and creamy roundness. A wine for chocolate lovers, perhaps! 14% alc. Drink now-2032

Decanter (Sara Muirhead MW): “Musky spiced raspberry aromas. Ripe blackberry flavours with some spice and tobacco. Toasty vanilla sweetness and zippy acidity on the finish.” 95 points

Decanter (Ben Chan): “Maraschino cherry, violets, oak spice, nutmeg. Opulent and full-bodied, with waves of complexity and savoury meat and cigar notes. A very long finish.” 95 points

Decanter (Beth Pearce MW): “Cola, vanilla and cream. Mouthwatering acidity, plum and blackberry. Bold, concentrated, with dark, brooding flavours that build to a rich finish. Overt oak flavours may soften with time.” 95 points
