- TASTING NOTE: "This 2017 old vine Grenache 1850 Ancestor Vine is a little shy at first but then shows breathtaking purity of dark cherry and musky plum with some more exotic cinnamon stick and red licorice hints. The 2017 is beautifully textured and weighted, and despite quite serious underlying power, it remains light on its feet. The excellent vibrancy of fruit is on show and slowly builds layer upon layer of savory roasted meat complexity. Strong ironstone adds backbone to a delightfully perfumed finish. It's a world beater with killer length and the best 1850 yet from Cirillo." 98 Points - Angus Hughson, Vinous.com
- ABOUT THE WINE: The Cirillo 1850 Grenache is grown on sandy soils situated in Light Pass area of the Barossa Valley. This single vineyard is believed to be the oldest Grenache vineyard in the world. Matured in aged seasoned hogsheads for 24 months.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: The Cirillo family moved to the small district of Light Pass in 1970. Vincent Cirillo became the custodian of some exceptional vineyards that were planted in 1848 - today they are noted to be the oldest surviving and producing Grenache and Semillon parcels in the world. Vincent's son Marco is the current custodian of these spectacular basket pruned vines. Marco’s wines are (and always have been) made with minimal intervention and additions, with lots of whole bunch and carbonic influences. However, you won’t catch him using said buzzwords!
