Description

Some vineyards are lush, others fight for survival—and Hopeless Hill, where the Greenock Creek Cornerstone Grenache is grown, is the latter. A tough, quartz-laden 2-acre block where only Grenache (and the occasional weed) dares to thrive. But from struggle comes exceptional wine.

Hand-picked and whole-berry fermented, this 2023 vintage is nothing short of spectacular—one of the best in living memory. The sandy soils bring a vibrant red fruit burst, while the flint and quartz add a mineral backbone. Expect strawberries, raspberries, red plums, and white pepper spice, all wrapped in silky tannins and subtle oak. Bright acidity and a long, textured finish make this a Grenache that’s as complex as it is drinkable.

If you're looking for a premium Barossa Grenache with elegance, depth, and a touch of wild character—this is it.

Winemaker's Notes

From Grenache vines planted in the early 1960s, grown on hard quartz rock with just 4mm of loam, this wine is a testament to resilience and terroir. The result? A Grenache that’s darker in colour, richer in texture, and bursting with red fruit vibrancy. The 2023 vintage was marked by cool nights and warm days, ensuring exceptional natural acidity, layered flavour development, and finely structured tannins.
