Artisans of Barossa Grenache Project 2021

Tasting Note

Six winemakers. One vineyard. Endless expression. This 6-pack is a masterclass in Grenache - from bright and ethereal to bold and brooding. The wines span a sensory spectrum: lifted red fruits, baking spice, and floral aromatics meet darker, savoury elements, fine tannins, and complex textures. Each bottle is shaped by the same fruit but interpreted with a unique winemaking lens - offering six distinct voices in harmony.

This pack is perfect for collectors, wine students, and Grenache lovers looking to dive deep into one of Barossa’s most exciting and thoughtful explorations of site and style.

About the Grenache Project

Since 2017, the Artisans Grenache Project has brought together six winemakers each vintage to explore how winemaking influences terroir expression. Each is given one tonne of fruit from the same Barossa vineyard, and the result is six wines from one site - wildly different in style, yet unified in quality.

Each year the vineyard changes, moving across Barossa subregions. In 2021, the site was the Rosenzweig Vineyard in Light Pass, with vines dating back to 1969. The wines reflect a spectrum of winemaking choices—whole bunch inclusion, stalks, fermentation vessels, oak treatments—offering a rare opportunity to taste thought and technique in the glass.
