About the wine
Classy Grenache from a perfect vintage
- The fruit for this elegant red was sourced from old Grenache vineyards at Watervale in the Clare Valley in an outstanding year for growing grapes. The weather conditions were near perfect!
- Hand picked and open fermented, Adam threw in whole bunches to punch the characters up a notch. The basket pressing and nine months in seasoned French oak barrels have created a wine that is uniquely expressive of its origins.
- Open a bottle to free the scent of raspberry, satsuma plums, crushed violets and something like Campari. Each sip is a morello cherry, mulberry and sweet spice symphony with soft tannins and a long, fine finish. Yes please!

Wine profile
Meet the winemaker - Adam Barton
- Adam Barton began his winemaking journey largely as a result of tasting a glass of the 1965 Lindemans Hunter River Burgundy, which he described as "magic". He was already a master craftsman when we found him, creating tiny amounts of his own premium label wines and winning big at the wine shows.
- Based in the Clare Valley, Adam has the freedom to explore different variteals and keep pushing the boundaries of experimentation to the delight of Angels' taste buds. We knew from the start he was a wine genius and Angels would love him!
- Adam's Rabbit & Spaghetti range of wines are snapped up by Angels, year in, year out. Carefully selected vineyards, passionate grower partners & lots of care and attention to the smallest detail in the winery make them an amazingly good drop.
