Tasting Notes:

The fragrance is saturated with brooding plum red fruits, dark cherrie sand perfumed berries. This is a defined wine showing the richness and concentration of the vintage. The palate is richly textured, fleshy, round and supple, with a red juiciness that merges into velvety tannins. Enjoy with a pork pie or miso roasted eggplant with tomatoes, dill, mint and black vinegar.

Technical:

All batches of Bush Vine Grenache are crushed as separate parcels to either static pump over fermenters or open top fermenters. The majority of batches are fully destemmed, however for some the stems are left on to contribute another flavour dimension. The wild yeasts present on the grape skins are allowed to initiate fermentation. Particular batches are selected to remain on skins post-fermentation. This extended maturation helps to contribute an even greater complexity and individuality to the wine. After draining and pressing off skins, all batches are racked into older American, French and Hungarian hogsheads for six months maturation.

With good winter soil moisture, the vines grew happily through the warm spring and dry summer months. These conditions led to an even bunch set and a healthy vine canopy. Through summer and into autumn, the Grenache vines held their fruit in great condition while the weather remained dry and warm. This led to grapes with intense varietal Grenache flavour.

Accolades & Awards:

92 Points - James Halliday

"Largely sourced from bush vines between 35 and 70 years old, presumably dry-grown, and presumably hand-picked. It is typical of Yalumba's Barossa Valley style, elegant, but always with a confection character that is varietal, but which does not appeal to me."

Huon Hooke

"Medium to full red with purple tinges: a typical grenache colour. Red berry fruit and peppermint aromas, fresh and lifted. It's soft and medium-bodied with gentle, smooth, powdery tannins and decent length. An easygoing and fairly straightforward red which drinks well now."
