KRONDORF Stone Altar Old Vine Grenache, Barossa Valley

At the foot of the iconic Kaiserstuhl mountain, the early Silesian settlers of the Barossa constructed a stone altar – a sanctuary for prayer in their new homeland. The Krondorf Stone Altar Grenache is made from the best available parcels of Grenache from each vintage, vinified in small-format open fermenters for seven days of skin contact to extract colour and tannins then matured in large French oak casks for 12 months. The wine expresses aromas of turkish delight, dark cherry and raspberry, with notes of liquorice and spice. Medium bodied, a core of supple fruit leads to flavours of dark cherry and raspberry while a fine chalky tannin profile provides a delightful textural element to the wine.
