The wine draws its name from the old garden vines that have endured the Barossa's warm, dry summers for generations, producing fruit of extraordinary concentration and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 vintage marks a shift in the blend: 60% Grenache with 40% Mataro, sourced from low-yielding Barossa old vines of 35 years and beyond. The two varieties were vinified separately before being aged for 10 months in oak hogsheads — 3% new, 97% seasoned — preserving the vivid fruit and structural integrity that define this wine's appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 2024 opens with bright aromatics of raspberry, black cherry and fresh plum, lifted by violet, bergamot and a thread of lavender. Savoury nuances of nutmeg, oregano and liquorice add complexity, with cedar providing a gentle woody frame. On the palate, the wine moves from plush red-fruit generosity — redcurrant, pomegranate, rhubarb — into a long, structured finish underpinned by lively acidity and supple, fine-grained tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrenache harvested 29 February 2024; Mataro harvested 5 April 2024.
