Lone Palm Vineyards Old Vine Grenache 2023
A graceful and ethereal Grenache from 80–90 year-old vines in the Barossa Valley. Hand-picked and naturally fermented, this Old Vine Grenache showcases the depth, vibrancy, and elegance of the region while paying full respect to the terroir of its ancient vineyards. Meet the producer Founded in 1992 in the hamlet of Marananga, Lone Palm Vineyards offers stunning views over its old vineyards and iconic Barossa gum trees. The winery focuses on producing site-specific wines that reflect the character of the Barossa Valley, blending traditional winemaking methods with careful, modern precision. Production Fruit is sourced from three very old vineyards—two on the western ridge at Seppeltsfield and one on the Valley floor in Nuriootpa. All grapes are hand-picked and fermented separately, with 18–20% whole bunches and the remainder whole berries. Fermentation is natural, wild, and carefully temperature-controlled for 10–12 days. Wines are gently basket-pressed into seasoned French oak hogsheads and aged for 12 months before being selected and blended. Bottled unfined and unfiltered to maintain vineyard integrity. Tasting notes Ripe black cherry aromas, reminiscent of freshly squeezed juice, mingle with subtle cinnamon and clove. The palate is rich yet lifted, with bright red fruit and a hint of gamey complexity on the finish. Elegant, expressive, and ethereal. Food match Perfect with pink, seared duck, Chinese-style ribs, warm goat’s cheese, and spiced mutton curries. Grape Grenache Noir 100%
