Description
"Ian Becker’s old bush block in Koonunga is caught in time. Farmed by Ian Becker for many years, an isolated place that produces special grapes. Adrian Hoffman took over the management of the vineyard for the 2020 vintage. Yields are typically low, the 5 acre block producing less than 5 tonne, but the fruit was once again exceptional. The Koonunga Block produces classic Barossa flavours, highly perfumed, unusually powerful for grenache, with substantive fruit weight, grip and tannin. A wine of intensity and grip that reflects the vintage year to perfection. This can be enjoyed for many years." - Winemaker Notes
"Grenache sourced from the old Becker block, now managed by Adrian Hoffmann way up in the north of the Barossa at Koonunga. Jeez, this is a pretty wine. Perfumed and lifted with citrus blossom top notes above the pure red plum and cherry fruits. Hints of cola, ginger cake, clove and cherry clafoutis. It's initially quite sweetly fruited but fades to savoury on the tail, silty creek tannins and bright acidity in check; there's detail and deliciousness here, to be certain." - 95 Points, Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion
