2023 Sons of Eden Kennedy Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre

A rich, succulent GSM that shows plenty of torque.

Named as a tribute to the legendary Barossa Vignerons who pioneered the planting of the old treasured vineyards, the Grenache fruit is the ‘soul’ of this blend and is predominately sourced from an exceptionally low yielding 60+ year-old Light Pass Vineyard. It was originally planted by the Kennedy Family, with ownership eventually being passed onto the charismatic Leo ‘Joe’ KENNEDY who nurtured the vines for many years, selling his prized fruit to local winemakers.
A blend of 46% Grenache, 35% Shiraz and 19% Mourvedre sourced from a wide variety of Barossa’s sub districts with the vines aged between 31 to 98 years old. Maturation took place in a mixture of seasoned oak hogsheads and puncheons for a period 12 months.
Deep dark red black colour with a dark red hue. Elevating their way out of the glass with plenty of intensity are aromas of dark raspberry, liquorice and dark plum followed by some vanillin spice, hints of blueberry and subtle earth. Rich, succulent dark raspberry, liquorice, plum and blueberry fruits glide across the palate with a velvety feel. Spicy vanilla, earthy dried herb and pepper elements ensue. Showing plenty of torque it has silky tannins and a long, sumptuous finish.
Drink over the next 4-5 years.
