Cirillo 'Ancestor Vine 1850' Grenache 2019
About this Wine
A national wine treasure no doubt but one with an incredibly low profile. 100% sourced from some of the oldest Grenache vines in the world - 172yr old vines grown old school bush vine style. A complex and multi-faceted wine with savoury red fruits, chewy leather tannins and tobacco spice.
About the Winery
Cirillo's claim to fame is its ownership of some of the oldest Grenache vines in the world - 3 ha of bush vines planted in 1848! But wait...there's more! They also own what is believed to be the OLDEST Semillon vines in the world. In this case a single 1ha plot located at Light Pass. Most of the grapes are sold to Torbreck, leaving only a small portion for the Cirillo label. More recent plantings are mere babes at 30 years old.
