Description

Grapes vinified from one of the world's oldest Grenache vineyards, planted circa 1868 at the Stonegarden Vineyard, Eden Valley. With a light burgundy to cherry color, this Grenache opens with aromas of brambly wild berries and a rustic, whole-bunch character that speaks to its Eden Valley roots. The palate brings a soft, clean profile with delicate notes of forest fruits, maintaining a light to medium body.

Ideal for pairing with dishes like herb-crusted lamb, roasted root vegetables, or grilled eggplant, this wine’s gentle fruit and refined structure complement earthy flavors and simple, wholesome meals beautifully.

Limited production.

Winemaker : Mark Pearce
Kellermeister is owned and operated by the Pearce family. While continuing to do small things well and have fun along the way, winemaker/owner Mark Pearce has firmly established considerable pedigree, particularly around the winery's Shiraz and Grenache-based wines in recent years.

Under Mark's leadership the winery achieved significant success on the world's biggest stage, the International Wine Challenge, in London in 2012 being awarded the World's Best Shiraz, Australia's Best Shiraz and the Barossa's Best Shiraz and then followed up in 2013 being awarded the Barossa's Best Shiraz, Grenache and Mataro.

Today the winery is rated in the top 7% of Australian producers by Australia's most authoritative and acclaimed wine critic, James Halliday.

Ralph's ambition in establishing Kellermeister was to play the Curtain Raiser in the Barossa Valley, hand making, hand bottling, and hand selling small-batch wines of real character.

With his beloved wife Val beside him, he would purchase a century-old Shiraz vineyard (known as Kellermeister's Black Sash vineyard today) on a hill near the sleepy southern Barossa town of Lyndoch, and later build the now-famous yet still humble mud brick cellar from the scorched red earth of that unique and gloriously located site.
