VINEYARDS
For this fourth release of Concilio Grenache (86%) was sourced from survivor bush vine block located to the south of Tanunda and an old vine parcel from Northern Barossa. Shiraz (14%) was sourced from a single vineyard at
Marananga, selected for its savoury notes and plush texture that complemented the Grenache.
93 pts “A juicy, easy-drinking style; 86% grenache with a bit of whole bunch and 14% shiraz from Marananga, nicely composed and sympatico in their natures, showing pure, savoury red cherry and dark berry fruits dusted with gingery spice and hints of ginger cake, citrus blossom, dried meats and earth. Dusty, airy tannins and a bit of crunch to the acidity. They’ve really nailed it this year in the drinkability stakes.” Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion, 4 February 2024
