      Super fragrant aromas of cherry blossom, ginger-spiced red berries and raspberry all woven together with cedar, vanilla and dried herbs. Luscious red plum, dark cherry and rhubarb. All complemented with nutmeg and white pepper. Fine, silky tannins on the finish.

      Georg Heidenreich was ordained as a pastor in Hanover in 1866 in the presence of George V and the royal family, where Martin Luther, father of the Reformation, was ordained in 1507. Georg married Anna Meyer, and arrived at Port Adelaide later that year. Their new home for the next 44 years was the Manse in Bethany in the Barossa Valley. Subsequent generations settled in nearby Vine Vale on the deep sands of the North Para River and planted the now 80-year-old bush-vine grenache, which thrives in this environment producing exemplary delicious fragrance, elegance and lithe tannins.

      An absolutely cracking Barossa Grenache. Line this up next to some top Rhône examples of this variety and it will immediately become obvious what stunning value this is having spend eight months in seasoned French oak. This is a pale yet vibrant purple. For the nose, think strawberries and cream, spices, florals, bay leaves and red fruits. Excellent focus here, through to a very fine, if ever-so-slightly grainy tannins. Showing great length, this is harmonious, approachable and surely destined for a long life of ten years in any decent cellar. Delicious.

      A detailed, ginger-spiced rendition of grenache that offers pure red cherry and raspberry fruit tones, edged with notes of citrus blossom, red licorice, earth, gingerbread, rose petal and earth. There is a sense of space and light shining in on the fruit here, a detail to the red fruits and spice, an increase in clarity if you like. Poised with a lovely spiced red-fruit wash, powdered stone tannins and a minerally cadence.
