Aussie Excellence | Barossa Valley | Old-Vine Grenache

Tasting Notes

This Grenache shows a vibrant mid-red hue. The nose is perfumed and lifted, with notes of raspberry, wild strawberry, potpourri, thyme, and sweet spice. The medium-bodied palate is plush and juicy, brimming with flavours of strawberry jam, pomegranate, and mint, alongside hints of liquorice and a subtle earthy undertone. Old vines lend depth and weight, while supple, fleshy tannins enhance the texture, and a fine mineral edge adds precision. Balanced and harmonious throughout, the wine finishes with lingering, juicy berry fruit.

A perfumed, plush Barossa Grenache with red berry fruit, sweet spice and old-vine depth.

Why you'll love it: Grenache at its most charming, fragrant and juicy with real texture, a joy on its own or with food.

Reviews

94 points, Sam Kim, Wine Orbit (2023): "Beautifully rounded mouthfeel, wonderfully supported by fleshy texture and fine, polished tannins."

About Paisley Wines

Paisley Wines is the small-batch Barossa project of Derek and Kirsten Fitzgerald, run hands-on from their Angaston estate in South Australia. Derek draws on more than twenty years of Barossa winemaking to focus on the three varieties he believes the region does best, Grenache, Shiraz and Mataro, making characterful wines without the corporate polish. The Fabric Series nods to Kirsten's Scottish heritage and the textile town of Paisley near Glasgow.

Perfect with roast pork, charcuterie, or tomato-based pasta.
