$234.00 GST Included

AUSTRALIA WIDE SHIPPING INCLUDED

In a year of drought and frost it seemed my desire to diversify our range was destined to be dashed but thankfully an extra parcel of Grenache from our 40 yo vines came to my rescue. My brief was to capture the vibrant fruit without being too boozy. Just 4 days on skins and bottled in house under crown seal, really minimal sulphites. Vegan friendly

Colour: Bright red purple heavier than a rose.
Aroma: Strawberries and graphite with a herbal note.
Palate: Fruit sweetness up front, very soft tannin but nevertheless drying like licking a bluestone on the finish.
Summary: The endless exploration of the intricacies of Ken’s vineyard continues, too much light red is never enough.

Region: 100% Barossa Valley, South Australia
Variety: 100% Grenache
Alcohol / Vol: 14%

Description

About Smallfry

Wayne Ahrens and Suzi Hilder are the custodians of some exceedingly fine vineyards. Both from grape growing families of long standing they planted a vineyard in the Eden Valley and purchased a beautiful block of ancient vines in the Barossa Valley sub-region of Vine Vale. With patience, intelligence and sheer graft these vines are now producing grapes sought after by some of the best winemakers in Australia. A commitment to sustainable practises and certification as Biodynamic producers both in the vineyard and winery is further proof of the dedication to quality.

The excellence of the Smallfry wines is a reflection of the dedication in the vineyard. The wines are very much hand-made, non-interventionist styles with no additives and only older oak used. They showcase the regional Barossa styles in a modern, fruit focussed vein. A five star producer and “one to watch” in James Halliday’s Wine Companion Smallfry is a winery most definitely on the rise.
