Powell & Son Reserve Grenache Seppeltsfield Brennecke 2017

This magically delicious red wine is a dazzling beauty to behold now and enjoy over the next decade. Vibrant dark fruit flavors captivate, leading to melted Valrhona chocolate, toasted espresso beans, and a mind-bending finish that lasts a full minute and is reminiscent of Kahlua. This hedonistic red wine is insanely fun and maintains a sense of balance and freshness that merits a truly perfect rating!

Powell & Son Winery

"Powell & Son wines are sourced from various vineyard sites throughout the Barossa and Eden Valleys. Callum and Dave Powell employ traditional, minimalist winemaking techniques to produce a wine that speaks of the place that it was grown. Their inspiration for winemaking having its roots in France’s Rhone Valley, Powell & Son red wines are made from the classic Rhone varietals: Shiraz, Grenache and Mataro and its whites: Roussanne, Marsanne as well as Eden Valley Riesling. The Powell philosophy is that a great wine is made in the vineyard and so Callum and Dave work the vineyards they use on their own in the Winter and Spring seasons, then in Autumn pick the fruit and vinify using old concrete ferment vats and basket pressing – producing unique and expressive wines from their most prized vineyards throughout the Barossa."
