Handpicked from old, gnarly bush vines planted in 1889 in two acres of deep sandy loam soil over red-brown clay in the heart of the Barossa Valley. Year after year these ancestor vines give small quantities of exceptional grapes.
Tasting Note Perfumed aromas of violets, wild cherry, raspberry and pomegranate are interwoven with notes of white pepper and blood orange. The hallmark of this wine is 372 day post-ferment maceration which imparts incredibly silky texture and refinement to the palate, creating a textural wine with depth, structure, vibrant acidity and defined tannins. Stunning now, it will gradually evolve over the medium term.
Terroir This single vineyard Grenache has been crafted from grapes sourced from a two acre block in the Yalumba Tri-Centenary Vineyard. Located in the heart of the Barossa Valley, this block comprises 820 gnarly old bush vines that were planted in 1889. The vineyard features deep, sandy loam layers underlain with red-brown clay. With careful management, dry grown vines on these soils can consistently produce outstanding quality fruit.
Treatment After the Grenache grapes were hand-picked and fermented, the wine remained on skins post-fermentation for 250 days. This extended maturation contributes an even greater complexity and individuality to the wine.

A wine with history and prestige

In our Old Vine Charter, a Tri-Centenary vine is classified as a vine whose life has spanned at least three centuries. The Tri-Centenary Grenache is made with Tri-Centenary bush vines that were planted in 1889. For the past 130 years, these rare vines, now crooked and gnarly, give up small quantities of exceptional grapes that we craft into this memorable wine.
