An old favorite from some scraggly old vines eager to tell their story.... Pure magic

Strawberry's and cherries on the nose and palate - this is one of the jammiest yet well balanced grenache's I've ever had. Really silky smooth on the palate as well.

Once again, I drink from the fountain of berries and centuries-old wood, of clean lambs wool and painted tapestries, of soft rose petals and stone fortresses, beyond lakes and rivers and mountains far and wide, in the village of grapes so old and magical, it nearly takes a wizard's wand to arrive there. Betts & Scholl...there are none who compare to you.

Really cool Grenache, still really fresh, balanced, channelling classic old school Aussie, nothing like the stereotypical big Barossa, balanced, savory

Not sure where this came from, but easy drinking though nothing special.

It's a big one, at 15% but don't let that fool you, elegant, balanced, downright beautiful. This wine is sings the silky song of the Barossa Valley in such a striking way.
