“Hand-picked, 28% whole bunches, berry and bunch sorted; 11 days on skins, then basket-pressed to used large format French oak for 11 months. Bright crimson-purple, the bouquet floral, the red and blue fruits and silky tannins on song.” 96 points, James Halliday, The Weekend Australian Magazine
“Now that Farvie is a trio, and not a duo, and the Mourvèdre sits neatly in between the Grenache and Syrah in terms of hue, timbre and attitude, this Grenache seems more succulent, fragrant and blushingly attractive than ever. It is imperceptibly lighter, more rhubarb and pomegranate-tinged and creamier than ever. The colour is a crimson and carmine amalgam, and the nose is akin to a stroll through an Amazonian arboretum. It is sexy, and it knows it, and before it gets too lascivious, on cue, it firms up, dries out and ends with a vicious lick of stern acidity. After such a lavish welcome, this finish is fantastic because it snaps your senses to attention and reminds you that while Farvie Grenache is a consummate charmer, beneath the surface, it is a weaponised wine with extraordinary skill.” 19+/20 points, Matthew Jukes, matthewjukes.com
“Nice to have this wine back in town after an absence in 2021. The power and concentration of the vineyard and the style is immediately evident. The intensity strikes immediately on the nose, while once the wine starts to roll across your palate you know you in a head zone of great power. It was a warm and concentrated vintage. Brilliant crimson colour with a bright luminosity and brilliant purity that lifts effortlessly from the glass. Floral notes with a dried herbie sage bush character engages immediately. Dry chalky tannins with a trace of minerally iron filings. It’s vibrant and fleshy with real volume of flavour. Continues to mark its turf as an Australian classic.” 98 points, Ray Jordan, rayjordan.com.au

The 2022 is generous, fluid and vibrant. Roses, pomegranate, cranberry and strawberry mingle with clove and aniseed. Pure and juicy palate, so fresh and bright, but deep and detailed too. Red fruits, and some dark plum and kirsch with flecks of vanilla bean. One of the best bistro reds around, that will pair well with […]
Add to cart Producer: VanguardistFrom an east facing vineyard in the upper reaches of Moppa. The aspect is key here, as the vineyard doesn’t get baked by the afternoon sun, and is correspondingly fine. Classic grenache aromatics in the Barossan vernacular. Jubey red fruits, rosewater, Middle Eastern spices and hints of wood. Medium bodied, yes it’s hard to believe, […]
Add to cartWine lovers familiar with ethereal and Pinot Noir-like styles of Grenache will love this. Beautiful aromas of cherry, strawberry, raspberry, dried herbs and Asian spices. Deep, plush and soft. There’s abundant flavour, but that Olifantsberg gentleness. Flavours of red and briary fruits, and spice that rides along the slick and lacy tannins. Waters Wine Co […]
Add to cart Producer: OlifantsbergA higher level of refinement has crept into the 2021’s, compared to the sleek, puckering wines of 2020. Pretty aromatics of jubey red fruits, tangy hedge fruits and brooding black fruits. Pure, flecked with flowers, ironstone and spice. The fruits are very complex, light and dark, sweet and tangy. The shape and mouthfeel are gentler, […]
