Hillside Vineyard Grenache, an exceptional single-vineyard Grenache from Australia’s Barossa Valley
Torbreck Vintners’ Hillside Vineyard Grenache is a unique single vineyard Grenache that comes from the most southerly Torbreck vineyard in the Barossa Valley in Australia. Located just north of the township of Lyndoch, this historic property was one of the very first to be settled in the 1850’s and was acquired by Torbreck in 2002. Grown in a soil consisting of dark red clay scattered with shale, quartzite and ironstone, the dry grown bush vines are low yielding and consistently produce outstanding fruit.
