Wine Description
Block 8 of our Estate Vineyard is consists of interplanted Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro vines. This is an old block. The wine is Certified Organic and Certified Sustainable. This is a true field blend, picked, fermented and aged as a blend of the 3 red varieties that we grow in Stone Well. Matured for 9 months in seasoned 225L French oak barriques previously used for our shiraz, before being bottled in December 2022. A classic Barossa blend that carries the hallmarks of our special patch of old vines in Stone Well. A wine that carries the unique characteristics of our site, old vines, and the vintage year. This wine is bright, lifted florals, red fruits, with a medium bodied pallet supported by fine tannins. A wine that is drinking very well on release and will continue to do so for many years.
