Eperosa Grenache/Mataro '21

About the Wine: 

This Barossa Valley red is a blend of 52% Grenache and 48% Bushvine Mataro from the Krondorf Vineyard. It is organically farmed and showcases dark mineral-driven red fruits, with fresh meaty tones, anise, gingerbread, and dark spices. The palate offers cool red to blue fruits, along with gamey and spicy notes, dried herbs, red currants, liquorice, and tobacco. With its complex yet approachable character, this wine delivers plenty of interest and drinkability.

About the Producer: 

In the 1840s, Brett Grocke's (Owner and Winemaker) forefathers planted vineyards near Jacob's Creek in Krondorf, Barossa Valley. As the 6th generation, Brett continue the family tradition of owning and farming vineyards.
Eperosa's motto is "wines built from the dirt up," reflecting their focus on organic and regenerative practices. They carefully manage the vineyards and fruit is handpicked and sorted. Their winemaking follows traditional methods, aiming to capture the vineyard's true character.
The grapes are foot stomped, fermented in small open containers, and aged in French oak barrels. Eperosa has always prioritised sustainability, with an eco-friendly winery design, solar power, rainwater harvesting, and low-impact practices.
