Purple Hands Wines Old Vine Barossa Valley Grenache 2025

Craig Stansborough would be well known to many local wine lovers for the endless array of superb Barossa wines he has crafted, working at Grant Burge. This is a project he operates with friends and the results, to date, have been more than exciting. The fruit here was sourced from a trio of vineyards located in the Lyndoch and Moppa sub-regions. 25% whole bunches were included in the ferment. Maturation was for nine months. Pale purple in colour, the nose exhibits notes of milk chocolate, aniseed, raspberries, dried herbs and florals. There is a silky texture and the wine is finely balanced with bright acidity and very fine tannins. A wine of excellent length, it is delicious drinking now and will continue to be for at least the next six to ten years. Love it.
