2021 Kurtz Family Vineyards Charlie’s Centenarian Grenache Barossa Valley

2021 Kurtz Family Vineyards Charlie’s Centenarian Grenache Barossa Valley – Charlie Braunack is a true Barossa legend. He lovingly tends a very special block of majestic old Grenache bush vines first planted in 1895 by Oscar Schulz and currently owned by Brian and Marie Mibus. The original block was 3 acres in size, but only 1.5 acres survived the controversial Vine Pull Scheme of the 1980s.Fragrant fruit aromas of cherry, raspberry, loganberry and pomegranate are gently supported by a background of French oak, wth an exotic spicy lift of Szechuan pepper and star anise, hints of dried orange, and red liquorice.A bold, rich, full-flavoured palate with a fabulous balance of fruit, acidity and tannins. Supple and textured, with plush, mouthwatering, cherry fruit that reveals more flavour with every sip. Earthy, savoury notes, exotic spices and black tea astringency add complexity and interest. Fine, long, supple tannins keep the flavours lingering.May be enjoyed on release or will gain increased complexity with careful medium to long term cellaring.Single Price: $36.00 Any Six Bottle Buy: $27.00
