EBENEZER, BAROSSA VALLEY

We’ve been working with this grower for a many years and this particular block, in the revered Ebenezer sub-region, always stood out, irrespective of the year. When we started hand-picking the fruit, which allowed us to do some whole bunch ferments, we realised the full potential of this epic fruit.

Bachelor's Block was our first 'single site' release and a wine that sets the benchmark for contemporary fine wine from the Barossa. Bachelor's Block effortlessly blends precise picking times, whole bunch natural fermentations, gentle vinification with extended time in fine French hogsheads to yield a wine of taut power, finesse and savoury freshness.

A complex and savoury nose with hints of graphite, liquorice, spice and blackberry. The palate is well balanced with dense, smoky black fruits and beautifully polished, glossy tannins that provide a mouthfilling yet succulent, energetic finish.
