Smalltown Vineyards (Magpie Estate) Songlines Grenache 2019
From the sun-drenched slopes of Gomersal in the Barossa Valley comes Smalltown Vineyards The Songlines Grenache, a wine that sings of the land and its ancient traditions. Inspired by the Indigenous Australian practice of navigating vast landscapes through song, this Grenache channels the Barossa’s deep red soils and unique microclimate into a vibrant, expressive wine. Carefully crafted from a single vineyard, the grapes are partially fermented with wild yeasts and around 30% whole bunches, capturing both freshness and complexity. Stainless steel ageing preserves the wine’s bright, primary fruit character, resulting in a Grenache that resonates with the energy of the land and the stories embedded in its soils. Meet the producer Smalltown Vineyards expresses the diversity of the Barossa’s prized districts, sourcing grapes from Gomersal, Kalimna, and Eden Valley, producing wines of both elegance and intensity that reflect the region’s unique terroirs. Production This single vineyard Grenache is sourced from the Gomersal sub-region. Partly wild yeast fermented with 30% whole bunches, the wine is aged exclusively in stainless steel to retain its vibrant, primary fruit character and freshness. Tasting notes A juicy nose of cranberries and pomegranate, accented with hints of star anise and black pepper. The palate offers a bright, energetic wash of berries and crushed graphite—a lively and expressive Barossa Grenache. Food match Pairs beautifully with herb-infused grilled meats, ratatouille, or pasta dishes. Grape Grenache 100%
Terres Fideles Fidele L’Ombra de Queribus Cotes du Roussillon Villages 2023
Terres Fidèles L’Ombra de Queribus is an organic Côtes du Roussillon Villages from heroic mountain vineyards at the base of the cliffs near Queribus, crafted by Master of Wine Fergal Tynan. Founded to capture the essence of south-western France, Terres Fidèles focuses on small-batch, authentically made wines that reflect the remarkable landscapes, unique soils, and dedicated growers of the Roussillon region — from the Pyrénées foothills to the Mediterranean coast. Old-vine Grenache and Carignan from schist soils at 240–280m altitude, wild-fermented and unoaked, with a Coup de Coeur award to its name. Why You'll Love It This is certified organic Roussillon from Terres Fidèles, the project of Master of Wine Fergal Tynan, dedicated to crafting wines that authentically represent the wild vineyards and unique terroirs of south-western France. The grapes come from 40–80 year old bush vines on steep, rolling mountain sites at the base of cliffs on the northern edge of the Agly Valley near Queribus — true ‘heroic viticulture’ at 240–280m altitude on classic schist and grès (sandy) schist soils. Vines are cultivated organically at the natural limits of each location, unforced and wild. Grapes are hand-harvested slightly earlier than typical for the region to preserve freshness, then wild-fermented with minimal intervention and matured in small concrete vats with no oak, allowing the purity and terroir of Roussillon to shine through. Winner of the prestigious Coup de Coeur award. This is French organic red wine with power, elegance, and genuine mountain character.
