Details
One of the great things about old vines is that it gives an extra layer of concentration - vines don't get to be old without nailing the whole 'make tasty grapes' thing. This cherry and earth Grenache treads a careful line between being juicy and a little earthy too, with the medium-bodied results seriously drinkable.
The name doesn't suggest it, but Bruno & George wines is actually about three mates. Bruce, Christian and Josh. All three of them come from wine families, so you can roll out the old cliche that wine is in their blood. The trio are seriously experienced too, having made wines or grown grapes in 100 countries across 65 vintages worldwide, only to all settle back in the Barossa (because why would you want to leave?). Interestingly, the Bruno & George wines go off the usual Barossan script too, with red grapes like Montepulciano, Sangiovese, as well as the classic faves like Grenache and Shiraz. Oh, and the boys are proud to have quite a library of back vintage wines in their museum collection, just to emphasise how well these interesting Barossan wines look after a few quiet years ageing.

Pairing guide
There's so much going on with this old vine Grenache that it's a really interesting wine to pair. And just one dish? No way. BBQ and roasted pork is our first choice, although as with all Grenache wines, this one is going to go beautifully well with grilled or roasted poultry. However, it’s also going to be a winner with classic French bistro favourites (Toulouse sausage, cassoulet, boeuf bourguignon etc), and even milder Indian curries like butter chicken, muttar paneer, and rogan josh.
