The Riebke’s planted Grenache vines two centuries back… sometime in the 1880’s. Over six generations of their family have grown the stuff…it’s part of their DNA…and they know as well as pretty much anyone that Grenache goes extremely well in the Barossa Valley. The dry conditions and lean soils keep yields down, concentrating flavour…and being a late ripener, Grenache typically enjoys the very best of vintage conditions, revelling in the warmth of early autumn. It seems only right that we release a Grenache that carries their family name.

Fermented on skins for 5-6 days in 5 tonne open fermenters with twice daily pump overs by humans with hands. Then 12 months in seasoned oak hogsheads and puncheons.

Awesome at any time of the day served with an antipasto platter!
