Taste Profile
A brilliant and very pale straw colour.
The bouquet is an explosion of fruity and floral notes. Citrus, nectarine, passionfruit and field flowers jump out of the glass. To add a beautiful complexity is a precise minerality on chalky and saline tones.
The palate is fresh, lively, vibrant, with plenty of juicy citrus notes on the attack and a tropical mid-palate. The tension of a zesty acidity and the intensity of primary characters find a perfect synergy. A fine texture, together mineral and herbal hints, defines the lingering finish.
A wine to drink now or age for many years. Energetic and energising.
Vintage Notes
For the second consecutive year, the Barossa Valley experienced below-average winter and spring rainfall, with drought conditions persisting throughout the 2024 growing season. Spring and summer were particularly dry, with summer rainfall reaching only 25% of average.
Warmer-than-average temperatures from August onward accelerated vine development, bringing budburst two to three weeks earlier than normal. However, severe frost events in mid-September caused widespread damage, significantly reducing yields in some vineyards. Despite this setback, many vines recovered through fertile secondary shoots. Continued warm conditions through spring and summer hastened ripening, resulting in one of the earliest harvests on record, with most vineyards picked by late March and even the latest sites completed by early April.
In 2025, quality across the Tscharke estate appears very strong. Grenache and Shiraz have emerged as particular highlights. The season once again demonstrated the Barossa’s resilience, producing a vintage well worth celebrating.
Winemaking
The Grenache fruit was hand harvested at sunrise on 23 February 2025 from the Gnadenfrei North vineyard. Upon arrival at the winery, the fruit was immediately destemmed and pressed to tank. The juice was chilled and left to settle for forty-eight hours before racking and inoculation.
Fermentation occurred at cold temperatures for 30 days, preserving delicate floral aromatics and flavours. After one month, the wine was dry and ready to be racked before winter ageing. In November 2025, the wine was racked and bottled.
