Barossa Valley, SA Medium Featured Singles

The first GSM released by Purple Hands with previous editions having led with Mataro. From our perspective, also the best Grenache blend they have released to date and one of their very best wines overall. Fantastic fragrance here, along with spice, redcurrant, plum, chocolate, cedar and more. Has a tensile aspect which gives this life and lift in a fashion which very few wines can achieve. Exceptional length and a total joy to drink.

Black plummy fruits, blackberries, a rich mid palate, some cedar thanks to 6 months in French oak and excellent acid drive. A big, rich and boofy Barossa Shiraz which is just about perfect with Pizza or gourmet snags. Learn More

A beautifully soft, savoury and complex red. A medium-bodied palate with red and black fruits. Layers of spice, dark plum and blackberries with plenty of fine tannins and a slightly rustic edge from the very high quality Mataro used here to finish the blend off. A lovely ‘welcome home’ glass which goes very nicely with dinner too. Learn More

What a stunning ‘lighter and brighter’ Shiraz from Turkey Flat. A neat counterpoint to their Estate Shiraz, it packs a powerful punch of fruit yet is lighter on its feet than it’s more expensive counterpart. Some whole bunch is used here and the oak used is all older – both factors in allowing the fruit to really shine. Red and blue fruits, white pepper, bright and crunchy goodness. Delicious Barossa joy in a glass. Learn More

A stunner off a single 80 year old Seppeltsfield Vineyard, offering red and black fruits, earth, spice and raspberry. Fine tannins with a gently grippy finish. This is beautifully aromatic and an absolute bargain. Only 600 dozen made. Learn More

Handpicked, 17% whole bunch, unfined, unfiltered, unfettered. Exotic spice and blueberry on the nose; same on the palate, plus earthiness, roasting meats, florals, plums and more. Not the typical mono-dimensional or too-ripe presentation here. This is medium bodied, fragrant, and glorious! Learn More

Bright, airy, crunchy and fragrant. A hands-off approach has been taken in the making of this wine, with 80 whole bunch ferment bottled unfined, unfiltered and unashamedly slurpable. There are dark plums, red cherries, raspberry, liquorice, herbs, florals and dried citrus all happening here. Lovely Learn More

The Lienert’s have been farming in the Barossa for 150 years and decided to add some vines to their property about 20 years ago. The first fruit from 2004 and 2005 vintages went straight to the pool room, aka into Penfold’s St Henri. Funnily enough they then planted a lot more vines and introduced many more clonal variations of Shiraz and Grenache. This Grenache is a brilliant amalgam of aromatics and pristine fruit, thanks to the careful clonal selection and extensive blending trials undertaken before settling on the final ‘just right blend’. Whilst called Sieben Klon (Seven Clones) the Grenache actually includes 8 separate clones. This vintage is a little lighter, yet more aromatically lifted than the 21 vintage. It’s a cracker.
