What a difference a couple of generations can make. In the mid 1980s South Australia’s old grenache, mourvédrè and shiraz vines were being removed due to a lack of demand. Brave Faces is a tribute to the men and women that loyally tended their vineyards, allowing them to remain intact today.

- Tasting note
- Brave Faces displays a nice red hue in the glass. The bouquet is very lifted and host a number of aromas, cloves, pepper, black raspberries, Asian spice, warm oil along with candied flowers and backing spice. The palate starts out with a lean fruit profile first up, but this kicks into gear and starts to evolve and open. The fruit is juicy, sweet and rolls deep into the late palate. The tannins are very fine, and that juice nature makes them caressing and very enjoyable.

- Vinification
- The separate grape batches were de-stemmed and crushed to open top fermenters. The shiraz was pumped over three times daily, where as the grenache and mourvédrè, after a few days cold soak, were lightly plunged. Average time ‘on-skins’ was 6 days. Grenache parcels were fermented with 20% whole bunches. All pressings were added back to the free run. Some barrels had extended lees contact through maturation. Aged for 6 months in a combination of new and older French Oak puncheon and hogsheads.
