Tasting Notes

Intriguing nose layered with dense dark fruits, cigar box spice, charred meat & cocoa. The palate is soft but rich with plum, boysenberry, allspice and charred oak characters. The structure and density of flavours make this the ideal wine to lay in the cellar for a decade or two.

Description

About Rusden

Our vineyard is in Vine Vale, our terroir is deep white sand over red clay. We believe that Vine Vale is the most versatile and consistent grape growing district on the Barossa Valley floor.

Our wines have a unique character with balance and structure. They are fruit driven because we believe in our vineyard and we want you to taste the unique flavours in the wines of this particular site. Our range of wines has an obvious house style because they are all made and grown the same way in the same soil.

We believe that we are custodians of the land. Our job is to care for it as best we can and pass it down from one generation to the next. We also pass down the traditions that were taught to us by our forebears.

We tend the vineyard by hand, and more recently as our winery has grown, we adhere to traditional methods in the cellar. Our focus is on traditional Barossa varieties and blends, however we are not afraid to give different varieties a go as Australia’s wine industry is still in its infancy.
