This year’s Grenache Discovery pack features 3 of the 2018 Grenache Project wines, plus the 95-point rated Schwarz Thiele Road Grenache, the delicious Spinifex Garcon and eternal favourite Papillon. Six brilliant expressions of what is possible in the world of small batch, sub-regional Barossa winemaking for just $189 plus a flat $10 charge for delivery anywhere in Australia. 

The light touch of Pete Schell is on display with the amazingly fragrant wine.  The variety sometimes is known as Frontignac and can be sweet, but this has been taken through a full ferment and as such fishes very dry and quite broad on the palate,  Serve with a fennel salad and goats chevre.

Small batch winemaking doesn't get smaller than this with just 25dz made and we've got 36 bottles! 

What you want to see in good Barossa Rosé is a great balance between refreshment, texture and varietal red fruit expression.   The wine is pale salmon in colour, with lifted aromatics of red currant fruits and a slight savoury undertone. Great balance of the key components with a rounded mid-palate and refreshing finish.

Blending is a skill – an art form that takes time to nurture and refine via an accumulation of experience over countless vintages. This week we bring together 6 sterling examples from some of Barossa’s most experienced small winemakers. Six wines we believe collectively are an emphatic statement of the qualities of Barossa as a wine region of global ranking, and equally of supreme winemaking ability and a showcase of individual expression in the art of blending. 

Perfectly pretty pink rose.  Welcome fragrance of soft red fruits give an illusion of sweetness.  This is dry Rose that satisfies!

UTOPOS (pronounced ewe-toe-pos) is a collaboration between Kym and an old mate from the city who was keen to tip his toe into the wine game. Together, they purchased a prime Barossa vineyard and earlier this month quietly launched the first wines from the brilliant 2016 Barossa vintage.

Quantities are extremely limited and we’ve been privileged with a small allocation of three wines that will become instant Barossa classics.

Vital, youthful and vigorous. Bright, punchy fruit aromatics of damson plum and mulberry sit above darker dried herb and wood smoke notes. Mid weight palate with lively red berry and tart stone fruit flavours that mesh with nervy, bright fruit acids and light, snappy tannins.

Aria Secca in Italian means 'Air Dried'.  This process is employed to provide an intensification of flavour!

The only thing missing from this six pack is a few friends and a few kilos of freshly shelled prawns! Chill, open and enjoy!

Deep garnet in colour with an alluring complex aroma of spicy red current and blackberry fruits, underpinned by dried thyme and bay leaf. The palate is very concentrated, fleshy and well structured finishing with the hallmark Remus refinement. From an outstanding vintage, this wine will cellar well for many years to come.
