2021 Vintage: Top 30 "Deep Dive of Australia's Best Chilled Reds" - Young Gun of Wine 91pts "A grenache mourvèdre concoction for chilling is obviously a very good thing. It's packed with red cherry and juicy plum fruits with a touch of blood orange, some bunchy spice and amaro and another whole bunch of "pourmeanotherglassness". Great fun drinking. We need more of these styles." - Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion 91pts " It’s a smashable red that tastes just smashing. It’s made with Barossa grenache and mourvedre and it’s kind of mid-coloured and mid-flavoured, if that makes sense; it’s not rose-like but it’s not full-bodied either, its cherry-plum-earth-anise characters running friskily through the palate, offering just-enough texture and decent-enough depth to keep everyone happy. Great style of wine, and well executed." - Campbell Mattinson, The Wine Front 91pts " A bright and juicy red with aromas of peppercorns, raspberries, cherries, cinnamon and oranges. Soft and supple, with a medium body and a rounded, fruity and delicious finish. Cool fermented whole bunch grenache and mourvedre." - James Suckling

Daniel Chaffey Hartwig + Huon Fechner + Theo Engela

Born in the Barossa's Eden Valley of German heritage, Daniel Chaffey Hartwig felt a natural pull to winemaking. As a child, the Barossa’s back blocks were his adventure playground. School holidays were spent picking grapes before working the tasting bench at Penfolds, folllowed by a career as a wine broker and creative consultant. Chaffey Bros represents the fruition of a long dream to ply his family's trade in his beloved Barossa. Brother in-law, Theo Engela, fled a career as a government economist to join Chaffey Bros to work on "the business-side-of-things" but falling into the winemaking vats, so to speak, before too long. Theo loves the opportunity wine gives to pull multiple passions into one creative endeavour.
