The pinnacle of McLaren Vale grenache - quite literally. From the highest grenache vineyard in the Vale, this is an absolute Aussie classic. Power and 'prettiness' in perfect balance. This is one of Australia’s finest expressions of grenache. Collectible, delectable, cellarable.

Why do we love this wine?
A masterclass in restraint and energy. Coiled tannins and bright acidity frame sour cherry, bloodstone, tomato leaf, and a whirl of regional spice. The palate is full-bodied yet light on its feet, and quietly complex. Power dressed as elegance. From McLaren Vale’s highest grenache vineyard, with 750-million-year-old soils, unirrigated bush-vines, and hand-tended by the Smart family for many generations, this site is pure treasure, and Stephen Pannell treats the fruit with the respect it deserves in the winery. Drink now or wait 15 years, it's really up to you.
