What a difference a couple of generations can make. In the mid 1980s South Australia’s old Grenache, Mourvèdre 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.

PALATE | The palate begins with a lean fruit profile, but it soon comes alive, evolving and opening up beautifully. The fruit is juicy and sweet, rolling deep into the finish, with notes of stone fruit alongside darker berry and earthy undertones. The tannins are very fine, their juicy nature making them caressing and very enjoyable. This wine, year after year, consistently performs well at the table. Its naturally lower acidity keeps the fruit bright and focused, while the soft tannins offer a lovely mouth-watering sensation that dries the late palate, preparing you perfectly for food.
