2018 Strawberry Patch
Grenache Rose ***SOLD OUT***
With a lifted nose of strawberry and guava, this is a classic dry-style rose made from 100% Grenache. A lifted bright palate consisting of strawberry and guava fruit. The finish is crisp and dry.
The fruit for this wine came from our Santa Monica vineyard on California Road in the Tatachilla region of McLaren Vale. The 4.5 acres of Grenache were planted in 2000 in the gently undulating red/grey sandy loam soils. The vineyard was previously a strawberry paddock, hence the name, and black plastic remnants are sometimes still seen in the vineyard rows.
It is fantastic with food including cheese platters, pasta and pork belly.
2021 vintage coming soon!
2013 Shiraz **Minimal quantities available**
Initial bright fruit intertwined with hints of chocolate and spice. It starts off subtle but slowly builds giving you a hint of what lies beneath. Strong rich fruit is the backbone of this, savoury, mouth filling and definitely McLaren Vale Shiraz. This wine was aged in a mixture of new and seasoned French oak.
Fruit for this wine is sourced from our Santa Monica vineyard in the Tatachilla region of McLaren Vale. The vines were planted in 1996; the soil in the region is classified as Pirramimma Sandstone but this particular block is a heavy red loam over broken sandstone.
