Yalumba’s Tri-Centenary Grenache: A Legacy of Barossa Valley Excellence
Experience the essence of time-honored craftsmanship with Yalumba’s Tri-Centenary Grenache—a celebration of South Australia’s iconic Barossa Valley terroir. Crafted from grapes grown on gnarly old bush vines planted in 1889, this premium Grenache embodies centuries of viticultural tradition.
A Vineyard Rooted in History
Nestled at the heart of the Barossa Valley lies the Yalumba Tri-Centenary Vineyard, a two-acre sanctuary home to 820 ancient bush vines. The deep sandy loam soils, layered with red-brown clay, nurture grapes of unparalleled intensity and complexity. These vines, untouched by modern trellising systems, produce fruit that carries the essence of their rugged heritage—rich flavors shaped by decades of exposure to the region’s unique climate.
Tasting Notes: Layers of Complexity
This Grenache unfolds like a symphony of aromas—violets mingle with wild cherry and raspberry, while hints of white pepper and blood orange add a spicy contrast. At its core lies a revolutionary technique: a 372-day post-ferment maceration process that transforms this wine into a masterpiece of texture. Silky smooth yet structured, it balances vibrant acidity with refined tannins, offering both immediate enjoyment and cellar-worthy potential.
Why It Stands Out
Unlike conventional Grenaches, this wine’s extended maceration creates a velvety mouthfeel that elevates every sip. Perfect for pairing with hearty dishes or savoring as a sophisticated after-dinner drink, it’s a testament to Yalumba’s commitment to innovation within tradition. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or exploring fine wines, this Barossa Valley gem promises an unforgettable experience—one that will evolve gracefully over time.
Discover the Legacy
For connoisseurs seeking a Grenache that combines historical depth with modern winemaking excellence, Yalumba’s Tri-Centenary Grenache is an irreplaceable addition to your collection. Embrace the story of this extraordinary wine—one vineyard at a time.
