- TASTING NOTE: "From the Stonegarden vineyard, first planted in 1857 (this from original vines, reworked over time). The '24 vintage was Glen Monaghan’s last, having since sold the site to Rockford. The second release, and this bottling is already a high watermark for lithe, refined and detailed modern Barossa grenache. A gust of red florals, red and sour black cherry, bitter red aperitivo, ground warm spices, a rusty note, alpine-like herbal scents, ground fennel, and all so poised. There’s space to see the detail, underwritten by a quiet yet insistent current of old vine gravitas and soulful, site-specific resonance carried by intricately etched tannins. Stunning." 97 Points - Marcus Ellis, Halliday Wine Companion

ABOUT THE WINE:
Glen Monaghan grew the Grenache for the 2024 Vintage. Vineyard established in 1857. Thin loam over a substrate of red-brown clay covering sandstone with gold bearing quartz veins. Micaceous schist fragments scattered throughout. 390m Altitude. In the rain shadow of the Mount Lofty ranges on a plateau looking easterly over the Murray Mallee.
2024 Glen’s Vineyard Grenache – Picked on 8/3/24. 9% whole bunch. 14 Days on skins pre-ferment, 8 day ferment, 55 days on skins post ferment. 182 days in a sandstone amphora.
The 2024 vintage was much drier and warmer than 2023. The resultant wines have less spice but more inherent power. Less whole bunch was used to push the fruit and tannin forward.
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: After working in Germany, NZ and most major regions of Australia, Mark Bulman made a name for himself in his native South Australia with over a decade at the Barossa’s Turkey Flat, claiming the Jimmy Watson Trophy in '17. That was with a grenache, the first win for the variety, and it was the result of much experimentation with and affection for the grape. That connection has only grown, with Mark focusing his eponymous label on a celebration of the grape. While launched with a Gigondas (a result of the Jimmy Watson scholarship), the heart of the range is a rosé (grenache, of course) with Eden Valley and Blewitt Springs dry red grenache bottlings first introduced from the ’23 vintage made sans oak and with a lightness of touch.
