TASTING_NOTES_HEADING_BLACK

Is this the best value red wine in Australia? It'd have to be up there at the pointy end. Grenache from a handful of vineyards; 1901 and 1906 plantings with some declassified 1850 vine fruit for good measure. That's just bonkers when you think about it. Magenta-splashed crimson, super high-toned, mid-weighted with crunchy red plum and red cherry fruits dusted with gingery spice, floral tones and cola. Savoury and crunchy and just delivers so much enjoyment for the price. A cracker. 94PTS Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion

Ranked: #3 of 37 2023 Grenache from Barossa Valley

Deep-ish, youthfully bright red-purple colour; sweet fruit aromas of raspberry confectionery, licorice and rosewater, a lick of spice and a hint of mint, fragrant and youthfully straightforward. The wine is very sweetly fruited on palate, with soft, glossy tannins and lovely balance. Drinking beautifully now and will surely age well. Drink 2025-2037. 94PTS Huon Hooke, The Real Review

Producer

Cirillo

The Cirillo family moved to the small district of Light Pass in 1970. Vincent Cirillo became the custodian some exceptional vineyards that were planted in 1848; today it is noted to be the oldest surviving and producing Grenache and Semillon parcels in the world. Their prized fruit went to well‐known producers; Rockford, Peter Lehmann, St. Hallet and Torbreck. Marco Cirillo, the youngest of four children had always helped the family cultivate and preserve their precious Grenache, Semillon and Shiraz vineyards. It was during the late 1990’s when Marco was studying winemaking through Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga, and actively working as a cellar hand where he honed his skills as an exceptional winemaker that he is today. The family farm and ancestor vineyards grow in around 8ft of pure golden sand, which is a common terroir of the Vine‐Vale area. Marco and Vincent remain the only two people who have ever pruned the 1848 Grenache vineyard in the past 40 years. The early ‘basket‐pruning’ style that was adopted by Vince in the 70’s has helped the vines support themselves and continue to produce incomparable fruit each year. Their meticulous craftsmanship is why this vineyard is a picture of health today.
