GRANT BURGE THE HOLY TRINITY GRENACHE / SHIRAZ / MOURVÈDRE 2021

Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"The Holy Trinity is a traditional blend of Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre. The fruit for this wine is 100% Barossa grown, predominantly handpicked from old, dry-grown vines which range from 50 to 120 years old.

Aromas of bright red cherry, juniper chamomile, liquorice and hints of cardamom, cocoa powder with aniseed. Crunchy, plush, juicy and fleshy red cherry palate with an abundance of fruit and light chocolate with red currant and aniseed. The weight of the wine is complementary to the fruit profile but the density of fruit with the freshness is an absolute highlight of the wine. The velvety texture flows with the long and persistent tannins and finishes with a mouth coating.

The 2021 Vintage saw good rainfall In Autumn and desired sporadic rainfall through spring led to better than average fruit set furthermore this filled and maintained soil moisture all the way through to summer. Far cooler summer temperatures led to even ripening and slow grape maturation leading to exceptional phenolic ripeness and colour.

Crafted from three traditional Barossa varieties, Grenache, Shiraz & Mourvèdre. The wine was 100% barrel matured in all old oak puncheons and foudres."

95/100 James Halliday's Wine Companion (2021 Vintage)
"A 40/40/20% blend, the grenache hand picked from 80-year-old vines. From this point on the only thing in common is the used French oak in various sizes and for various periods of time. It's sophisticated, and achieves elegance, balance and freshness"

93/100 Aaron Basher, The Real Review (2021 Vintage)
"Aromas of blueberry, cherry, spice, bramble and earth. Youthful, bright, fresh and crunchy on the palate. Red and blue fruits, briar and spice are all at play. There's smart mouth-feel, length and texture. A wine that will benefit from a few years tucked away."
