From the best block of Grenache in Australia! Adjacent to Yangarra’s High Sands plot, this biodynamic vineyard was planted in the 1940s on maslin “sand” soils. It is made with ‘no frills’ (whole berries, no oak, no stems, hand-plunged) by McLaren’s rockstar of Grenache Pete Fraser. We call it our Chambolle of the Vale! "These 60+ yo biodynamically grown bush vines are cared for by Pete Fraser and we bought a couple of tons of beautiful hand-picked bunches. I originally wanted a “super hero” label but the wine, made in a very traditional and organic way, is far too good and needed a “fitting” label. Bottled to capture the wild berries and rose petals, this wine should age gracefully for decades!

Gary Walsh
Flowers, juicy raspberry, hazelnuts and sugared almond, exotic spices, a subtle earthiness. Medium bodied, ample flavour but not sweet, as such, and pulled into shape by cool almost ‘minerally’ acidity and fine sandy tannin, and a very long earthy red-fruited finish. Here’s a wine with a pulse! Bloody beautiful.
