About This Wine

Christine’s Vineyard lies in the heart of the deep Vine Vale sand, resulting in a wine that is typically very aromatic, lifted and spicy and having been traditionally made is a very pure expression of the variety.

The odd numbered vintages have a habit of working well for Grenache and this is no exception.

Producer Notes

Growing up as a kid, I remember this as my Mum’s favourite block. It was the acre of vines she always saved for last. So, being special to her, it was the block I first started making into wine. My favourite wines come from Grenache grown on sandy soils the world over.

Medium bodied Grenache showing red cherries, lavender, baking spice with hints of soy sauce & black tea. Lovely and long, fruit gives way to fine tannin and balanced acidity that have you reaching for another sip!

About the Producer

In 1979, Dennis Canute and sixth generation Barossa grape grower Christine purchased a rundown vineyard in Vine Vale and rejuvenated the old Shiraz and Grenache grandfather vines.

Next-generation grower/winemaker Christian Canute is proud of this unique vineyard and makes sure its personality speaks clearly through each wine that bears the Rusden label.
