Shobbrook Grenache 2024
The Wine
From Jeff Treager’s vineyard in Vine Vale, this release blends old-vine Grenache with about 10% Cinsault, with the Grenache gently pressed over whole Cinsault berries. The result is a beautifully balanced wine, where Grenache’s structure and finesse are softened by Cinsault’s bright, generous fruit, giving it instant charm and approachability. After a brief maceration, it was pressed into a 2000L Stockinger foudre to finish fermentation and mature, enhancing texture and adding subtle complexity. The final wine is light, pretty, and quietly captivating—an effortlessly delightful expression of Barossa Grenache.

About the Wine Maker 
After 12 years of growing grapes and making wines on our farm in Seppeltsfield things have come to an end. We now have 2 hectares of vines in Flaxman Valley... We will eventually end up with around 5 hectares of vines and a mixed orchard of fruit and nut trees. The Farm sits at 540 meters above the ocean.
The soils are old and acidic consisting of sandy loam over yellow orange clay. The sandy loam profile is scattered with rose quartz while the clay layers have shadows of mica. The wines should be lean and tight, holding fine acidity. This next journey will be an exciting ride. For now, we will continue to make a small amount of wine from some old vineyards in Vine Vale.
