Christian's story about Rusden Christine's Vineyard Grenache:

"The Barossa Valley is one of the warmest and most consistent wine regions in Australia. Growing Cabernet Sauvignon is generally considered a cool climate affair, but I love the aggressive nature of the variety, being quick growing, vigorous and hearty. Grown on the deep sand around the boundaries of our property, it is forced to push its roots down to the subsoil red clay from where it generates the largest canopies in our vineyard. In the heat of summer, the fruit is shielded from the sun which preserves the vegetative, herbaceous character of Cabernet along with generosity and richness synonymous with the Barossa climate."

Tasting Note: Intense nose with plenty going on, quite decadent with fruit cake, satsuma plum, blackberries, hints of vanilla bean and toasty oak. The palate is rich and luscious, a spectrum of dark fruits give way to herbal tones, leaf and cedar oak. A complete wine that won’t disappoint!
