Located in the heart of the Barossa Valley, the oldest block within our Tri-Centenary Vineyard comprises of 820 gnarly old bush vines that were planted in 1889. The vineyard features deep, sandy, loam soils underlain with red-brown, clay layers. These soils are very deep and hold large volumes of water. With careful management, these dry-grown vines consistently produce quality fruit.

After the Grenache grapes were hand-picked and fermented, the wine remained on skins post-fermentation for 41 days. This extended maturation contributes an even greater complexity and individuality to the wine.
