The colour is cherry red with a purple tint. The aroma shows lively ripe blackberry fruit that is enhanced by attractive complex bottle age characters, in particular cigar box and cedar with hints of vanillin. The wine is a medium to full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon with well-integrated ripe fruit and savoury tannins that prolong the finish. The Cabernet was outstanding with ripe, intense fruit flavours balanced with integrated tannins.

The GR series evolved after 11 years of Shiraz making. The variety which the Barossa is most famous for was also the most widely planted in our family vineyards and when we made our first wine in 1981 we decided to keep parcels of fruit from different vineyards separate. The classification was made in the vineyard on the basis of micro-climate, soil type and viticultural technique, the parcels were processed separately in four tonne fermenters, and matured separately in new and used American hogsheads for varying lengths of time.

Over a decade one parcel of fruit kept grabbing our attention. It came from a small vineyard of less than 5 acres in the foothills of the Barossa Ranges, from old vines on classic Barossa red brown earths overlaying limestone. The vines produce small berries which provide maximum flavour and colour and the breezes on the foothills ensure gradual ripening and fine tannins.
