The early pioneers carved this area out of cypress, blue gum and wattle woodland, once known as Bethany Sandscrub. Our old vines are traditionally cared for and hand tended to ensure their longevity and benefit for future generations. A minimalist approach to winemaking results in an honest representation of the variety. This is a New World wine made in an Old-World style to produce a fruit driven wine with dimension, character and balance. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE PRODUCER:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eIn 1979, a young couple purchased a rundown vineyard in the heart of Vine Vale in the Barossa. As it was a labour of love, Dennis Canute and sixth generation Barossa grape grower Christine refused to accept the tragic vine pull at the time. Instead, they decided to rejuvenate the old Shiraz and Grenache grandfather vines. \u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThat little plot, known as Vine Vale, may just be one of the most versatile and consistent grape growing districts on the Barossa’s prized valley floor.  These enviable soils bear a great resemblance to those at the hallowed Château Rayas in Châteauneuf-du-Pape (albeit without the stones). The clay helps with water retention which has allowed the vines to survive even the most brutal of the Barossa’s droughts. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eAs a disciple of Rockford’s Robert O’Callaghan, next-generation grower\/winemaker Christian Canute is incredibly proud of this unique vineyard and makes sure its personality speaks clearly through each wine that bears the Rusden label. \u003cstrong\u003eSupplier Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCOUNTRY:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAustralia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eREGION: \u003c\/strong\u003eBarossa Valley, South Australia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVARIETALS: \u003c\/strong\u003eShiraz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINE STYLE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRed Wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eChristian Canute\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLASSIFICATION:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSustainable Farming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCLOSURE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Cork\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV%:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e14.9%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSIZE:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Heritage Wine Store \u0026 Bottle Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45383471693973,"sku":"2186","price":105.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0367\/1208\/7597\/files\/Rusden-Black-Guts-Shiraz-2022-Heritage-Wine-Store-Perth-CBD-Bottleshop.jpg?v=1732525539","url":"https:\/\/theheritageperth.com.au\/products\/rusden-black-guts-shiraz-2023","provider":"The Heritage Perth","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
