SAnds of Time Grenache - The Best Grenache in Australia

The Best Grenache in Australia?!

We are one of a group of wineries leading the contemporary grenache movement in Australia. We continue to nurture and champion the re-invigoration of South Australia’s signature variety. We are self confessed Grenache fanatics!


Among other top scores and accolades we have won 'The Best Grenache in Australia' award twice with quotes like: 'one of Australia's finest reds' and 'World Class'.


BROWSE GRENACHE

Our wines are all about energy, detail and purity.

Like the thistle itself, our wines may appear robust on the surface but we seek deep flavours, a core of beautiful fruit and complexity that can be peeled back, layer by layer.

Hand-crafted, small batch McLaren Vale Grenache, Adelaide Hills Chardonnay & Barossa Valley Shiraz.

We source our fruit from many of the best sites in the iconic regions of South Australia. We work with growers in each of our chosen regions who are committed to sustainable viticulture that allows the fruit to freely express itself. In reality this means relatively low yields to enable concentration of flavour and to allow us to pick a little earlier than many.
