The name Lost Penny was born after we received a huge surprise when we found an old coin in our vineyard. After many years of being in the dirt, the first coin we found was an 1891 Penny. It amazes us how we could still read the date on the coin after so many years of hiding underground. It was only fitting that we would name this extraordinary wine in honour of the year in which the first coin helped shape our new adventure.

The growing season for the 2020 vintage started dry and continued that way. Much of the rainfall was below average for all the months. The 2019 calendar year was the driest on record for the Nuriootpa weather station. With the extreme weather conditions through November and into December saw below average bunch size and smaller than normal berry size. The flavours and colours and overall quality is exceptional.

Colour: Dark deep red with a garnet core
Nose: Rich dark red fruits with intense sweet oak
Palate: A full and complex structure with mouth filling intense black fruits. Rich sweet oak spice giving a round, full and complex structure.
Overall this wine is still young and with careful cellaring it has the capacity to develop further complex flavours. The 2020 Lost Penny 1891 Penny Shiraz has an overall full intense nose and palate with an elegant rich structure built around mouth filling berry characters.

About Lost Penny Wines

Carol and Nick, it’s somewhat of a natural progression for them to begin making wine with their own grapes in the Barossa Valley.

Having grown up among the Barossa vines, Carol and Nick earned their pocket money in family vineyards.

Carol near Angaston, and Nick on the same Ebenezer blocks that today produces the bounty of fruit used in Lost Penny Wines.

Their combined knowledge, passion, family heritage and dedication to preserving Barossa winemaking traditions have all been poured into Lost Penny Wines.

Here in the Northern Barossa region of Ebenezer, the oldest Shiraz vines were planted into fertile soils more than 100 years ago.

Their harvest brought hope and opportunity to generations past and they’ve weathered countless seasons.

And it’s this rich and textured history that the Riebke family are determined to both preserve and evolve.

By respecting the old traditions, working with the land using holistic and sustainable principles, yet also incorporating new knowledge and practices.
