- TASTING NOTE: Aromas of dark berry fruit, dried herbs and spice. The palate is medium to full‐bodied with intense yet subtle delicate flavours of cherry, aniseed, white pepper and savoury notes. The balance between the primary fruit and acid profile make this a beautifully seamless wine that mimics Rhone styles. One of the few Australian Grenaches that will reward over a decade of cellaring.
- ABOUT THE WINE: The Cirillo 1850 Grenache is grown on sandy soils situated in Light Pass area of the Barossa Valley. This single vineyard is believed to be the oldest Grenache vineyard in the world. Matured in aged seasoned hogsheads for 24 months.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The Cirillo family moved to the small district of Light Pass in 1970. Vincent Cirillo became the custodian of some exceptional vineyards that were planted in 1848 - today they are noted to be the oldest surviving and producing Grenache and Semillon parcels in the world. Vincent's son Marco is the current custodian of these spectacular basket pruned vines. Marco’s wines are (and always have been) made with minimal intervention and additions, with lots of whole bunch and carbonic influences. However, you won’t catch him using said buzzwords!
