Rusden Christine’s Vineyard Grenache 2023 | Barossa Valley Old Vine Elegance

Experience the captivating charm of Rusden’s Christine’s Vineyard Grenache 2023 – a beautifully pale and aromatic expression of Barossa Valley’s finest old vines. Crafted for lovers of elegant, European-inspired Grenache, this medium-bodied gem offers exceptional purity and drinkability, making it the perfect choice for warm evenings and sophisticated gatherings.

Sourced exclusively from Christine’s cherished block, these venerable vines thrive in deep sandy soils, imparting a distinct minerality and lifted perfume to the wine. Expect an enticing bouquet bursting with vibrant red cherries, delicate lavender, and subtle baking spices – a true aromatic delight.

Our commitment to authenticity shines through in the winemaking: hand-picked grapes are gently destemmed, undergo a five-day cold soak for enhanced flavour extraction, and ferment spontaneously with wild yeasts. Traditional basket pressing ensures a silky texture, followed by twelve months maturation in seasoned oak barrels. This careful process preserves the fruit’s bright character while adding subtle complexity, resulting in a palate that is remarkably fresh and long-lasting. Fine, supple tannins and balanced acidity create an incredibly smooth finish that invites you to linger over another sip.
