Louis & Pax Dallwaitz Grenache

2020 | Barossa Valley | Grenache

The 2020 Louis and Pax Grenache, hailing from the Ebenezer sub-region of the Barossa Valley, is a testament to the meticulous vineyard stewardship and the rich soils that give this wine its character. This Grenache carries the signature of its single vineyard provenance, offering a nuanced complexity that is the hallmark of the region's varietal.

The winemaking approach is minimalistic, aimed at letting the fruit speak for itself. The grapes, 100% destemmed and allowed to macerate on skins for 12 days, are then aged in seasoned French oak, enhancing the wine's structure and adding subtle spicy notes. The resulting wine is not fined or filtered, a choice that respects the integrity of the grape and the wine's textural components.

A bold yet balanced profile, characterised by the vibrancy and expressive fruit that Grenache is renowned for.

2022 | Barossa Valley | Shiraz

97 Points from James Halliday

"A blend of old-vine Grenache, Mataro and Shiraz; matured in used oak to throw all the focus on the fruits and their freshness, coupled with the second great vintage conditions in a row after ’21. Irresistible."  JAMES HALLIDAY 

"The blend percentages for Avatar might change each vintage, but the recipe doesn’t vary much. Grenache (about 50% in 2022) for spice and bright red fruits, Mataro (40%) for some savoury earthiness and depth and Shiraz (10%) for plump plum and rich black fruit. The time in oak and the choice of old seasoned oak ensures it serves only as a seasoning to add complexity and savoury nuance. With vines this old, we want the fruit and earth to speak with the clearest voice." KYM TEUSNER, WINEMAKER
