”From the Stonegarden vineyard, first planted in 1857 (this from original vines, reworked over time). The '24 vintage was Glen Monaghan’s last, having since sold the site to Rockford. The second release, and this bottling is already a high watermark for lithe, refined and detailed modern Barossa grenache. A gust of red florals, red and sour black cherry, bitter red aperitivo, ground warm spices, a rusty note, alpine-like herbal scents, ground fennel, and all so poised. There’s space to see the detail, underwritten by a quiet yet insistent current of old vine gravitas and soulful, site-specific resonance carried by intricately etched tannins. Stunning.”
