Vineyard & Vintage Comments: Our 4 acre Grenache block is the highest in our stand-alone vineyard at Trial Hill, with a beautiful Norht-facing aspect high above the Barossa Valley. The soil is red-brown earth formed from marble and calsilicate rock, with micas, schists and quartzes and underlying water-retentive red clay. A good vintage. The grapes were picked in early April. Fine weather throughout allowed for clean even ripening without disease pressure. Moderate yields.

Food Pairing
