Almond Row was named after one little row of almond trees that once grew beside these Shiraz vines. When Nick was a child, he would pick the almonds and crack open the shells so he could sell the kernels for his pocket money. But as time went on, the trees were no longer required. Today you can still see the odd almond shells next to this block of Shiraz.

The 2019 vintage started with a dry growing season and continued with below-average rainfall. Budburst and early vine growth were delayed in September with below average minimum temperatures but then caught up during October and November with warmer than average days. January and December resulted in above average maximum temperatures. As February was closer to average maximums and below average minimums, it resulted in the perfect conditions for the ripening of smaller crops. By the end of the second week in April, we had finished harvest – one of the earliest on record.

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 very young holding fresh acidity and with careful cellaring will assist the wine to develop and further evolve. The 2019 Lost Penny Almond Row Shiraz has an overall sweet spiced nose and palate with an elegant structure built around mouth filling rich 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.
