In 1986 to prevent the vines from being pulled out under the Federal Government Vine Pull Scheme, I secured the grapes from a small patch of Riesling which had been planted in Vine Vale by the Klix family 100 years earlier.
Each vintage when we make our Alicante Bouchet Rosè the skins are not used, so to preserve the Barossa tradition of frugality, we save these skins to co-ferment with early picked Grenache and Mataro. This gives us a bright garnet colored, full flavored high quality wine. The addition of the Alicante skins to the ferment gives tannin, spice and a vibrant color to the wine. Light bodied and low in alcohol.
Consists of Grenache, Mataro, Alicante Bouschet.
