2024 John Duval Wines Annexus Grenache 750ml

The 2024 John Duval Wines Annexus Grenache is a refined and expressive Barossa Valley Grenache that highlights purity, elegance, and old-vine character. Crafted by John Duval Wines, Annexus represents a focused, small-batch expression of Grenache, showcasing the variety in a lifted, aromatic, and finely structured style.

Sourced from low-yielding old-vine Barossa vineyards, the 2024 vintage delivered fruit of excellent balance and concentration, allowing Grenache’s natural perfume, savoury nuance, and textural finesse to shine. Winemaking emphasises vineyard expression and restraint, favouring elegance and transparency over overt power.

The wine opens with vibrant aromas of red cherry, raspberry, and wild strawberry, layered with notes of rose petal, dried herbs, spice, and subtle earthy complexity. The palate is medium-bodied and beautifully composed, showing juicy red berry fruit, silky texture, powdery tannins, and fresh acidity that carries through to a long, savoury finish. A gentle touch of oak and spice adds complexity while preserving freshness and detail.

Approachable in its youth, the 2024 Annexus Grenache also offers the balance and structure to evolve gracefully over the next 5–10 years.

A polished and contemporary Barossa Grenache for lovers of elegant, site-driven Australian reds.
