Part of the Distinguished Sites range. Sourced from two blocks of 1949 and 1929 vines in the Yalumba Tri-Centenary block on the valley floor. Fermented in two batches: the first 31% whole bunch, the second 20% whole bunch fruit and then matured for 6 months in older French oak puncheons. Winemaker is Kevin Glastonbury.

Yalumba, Vine Vale, Grenache, Barossa Valley, 2022

Deep garnet with bright edges. Roasted meats, herbal (rosemary and lavender) lift, raspberry straps, salted licorice, cherries and blueberry fruit. Seamless and intense. Silken tannins with juicy, yet dark fruit. Spiced and lifted with plushness, mocha hint and a savoury base. Beautifully clean and well tailored with a long finish.
