Tasting Notes:

Mid crimson with a vibrant hue.

A lifted fruit nose of raspberries and ripe cherry, a hint of stalky spice and savoury complexity.

A racy palate of vibrant red fruits, with lovely ripe varietal characters and with a hint of rose water. Fine dusty tannin from grape skins combine with slight stalk tannin to deliver a fine medium bodied wine with persistence. The wine has lovely appeal right now, but also has the ability to age into the medium term

Technical:

Cellar 13 Barossa Valley Grenache is a modern Grenache that proves old vines can learn new tricks. Just like the Cellar 13 shed, this Grenache proves that it’s what’s on the inside that counts.

Grenache sourced from estate vineyards that age from 32 to 91 years. This wine is blended from vineyard plantings in the Rowland Flat, Krondorf and Light Pass sub-regions of the Barossa from growers that have been selling to Orlando for generations, as well as estate plantings.

Drought with above average temperatures were the prevalent conditions leading into the 2019 vintage, with frost impacting some vineyards in the spring. Very hot and dry conditions during January and February meant that for most varieties in the Barossa the yield was low and ripening conditions were challenging. Grenache however, being heat and drought tolerant handled the conditions with aplomb and maintained canopy and freshness into the end of the season.

Diligent vineyard assessments by the winemakers ensured picking at the optimum time. Our estate vineyards in Rowland Flat were harvested first on the 9th of March with the last pick being the Light Pass vineyard on the 28th of March. Protecting varietal character was the priority during the winemaking process, parcels were fermented separately in both enclosed static fermenters as well as traditional open fermenters with some elements of whole bunch being utilised. Fermentation temperatures were allowed to peak at around 28ºC early in ferment, and then maintained at a more moderate 20–22ºC range to allow a careful extraction of flavour, tannin and colour. The parcels were drained and pressed separately into older French oak barrels, the majority hogsheads with a portion of larger format puncheons utilized, the goal being that oak did not influence the character of the wines. The parcels were racked after the completion of malolactic fermentation and then returned to the same barrels, with one parcel staying in a stainless-steel tank for a more fruit driven profile. Blending occurred in December 2019 after 8 months maturation with a focus on putting together a classic Barossa Grenache that exhibits the aromatics and brightness the variety is known for, whilst delivering the structure which these old vines are known for.

Accolades & Awards:

95 Point Rated - Tony Love Wine Pilot

"From a range of Barossa Valley estate and grower vineyards, ranging from 32 to 91 years old. The winemaking team, including now head honcho Ben Thoman, included some whole bunch and matured parts of the make in stainless steel to retain freshness – the result being enhanced, and delightful grenache aromatics, the wine fragrant with herb garden, stones and crushed rocks, and warm soils. All those elements that the French describe in similar wines as “garrigue”. The variety also can display a faint saltpetre/cured charcuterie note, and yep, that’s here as well, while the fruit mode is selected to crimson rather than black: cherry and raspberry and plum. Through all that the aromatics swell, while savoury layers check over-exuberance, with a light to mid grip tying everything together. Much to love."

95 Point Rated - Jenni Port Wine Pilot

"Australian grenache is being reinvented as a medium-bodied, bright, crunchy, red berried wine highlighting the grape’s brilliant fragrance and aromatics.

Cellar 13 is all of that, an exploration of old vines, youthful freshness, spice and a celebration of a winemaking lightness of hand. The latter is important, the act of doing less in order to do more with grenache isn’t always appreciated by winemakers.

Fruit drives this wine. Cherry-cerise in colour and so pretty in aromas with black cherry, plum, raspberry, lifted spice and earth. Dried raspberry intensity – it’s quite a distinctive feature– and pot pourri, heaps of plummy flavour and spice with a light pepperiness to close. Grainy tannins promote structure and freshness. A new-fashioned style of grenache with bite."

92 Point Rated - Tyson Stelzer James halliday Wine Companion

"From 32-91yo vines, 40% hand picked. Partial whole bunches in the ferment; 50% matured for 8 months in seasoned French oak puncheons and hogsheads. Barossa grenache in all its splendour, leaping from the glass in a display of raspberries, wild strawberries, sarsaparilla and rhubarb. Whole bunches lend their characteristic exotic spice and potpourri. Fine, lithe tannins provide just the right framework for a supple, juicy finish."

91 Point Rated - Mike Bennie The Wine Front

"Cellar 13 was where the Orlando fermentation was in the 1950s and 60s at Rowland Flat. Juicy, fruity kinda style. Around 50% is destemmed and crushed in stainless, then 50% saw a bunch of different techniques applied, including extended skin fermentation, large format oak, whole bunch, all bits and pieces to bring this together as a whole. From the new look New Heroes range of New Orlando.

Pretty and perfumed, all sweet spice, raspberry liquorice straps, white pepper, kirsch. Suggests sweet from first sniff, delivers slurpy, supple texture, gently sweet fruit flavours, more of the sweet spice, soft tannins, a little freshness in the finish to tighten things up a touch, perhaps just a little too citrusy, but hey. Good sloshable red of vitality and ease of drinking."
