- TASTING NOTE: "Cuvée Juveniles is an iconic name in modern Barossan wine, named after the famous Parisian wine bar, and I know it was a gateway drug for me early in my wine career. This year sees a blend of 48% grenache, 31% mataro, 10% carignan, 6% counoise and 5% shiraz, and it's still a crunchy, juicy, easy-drinking style of wine that hits all the right buttons. Raspberry, red plum, cranberry and red apple-skin notes with layers of exotic spice, Chinese barbecue joint, citrus blossom, crushed rock and rose petals. Yeah!" 94 Points - James Halliday, Halliday Wine Companion
- ABOUT THE WINE: Cuvée Juveniles is a Grenache-based blend inspired by the fresh, bistro-style wines of the Rhône Valley. Grenache, Mataro, Carignan, Counoise and Shiraz are sourced from key Barossa vineyards, the fruit is hand-harvested and fermented in small open-top fermenters using indigenous yeasts.. The wine is basket pressed and matured in a mix of stainless steels and older French oak foudre for 12 months. After blending the wine is bottled unfined and unfiltered. Torbreck

Wines are unfined and unfiltered and there is a focus on protecting and spotlighting the old vine vineyards within the Barossa.
