Shiraz Grenache Mourvedre / Barossa / SouthAustralia
Excellent Langtons Classified. John Duval's aim with Plexus is to express the wide spectrum of red fruit flavours from Shiraz, Grenache and Mourvedre, but also provide structure with a seamless balance and long finish. A low percentage of new oak adds complexity without dominating the berry fruit. Grenache is sourced from old bush vines fifty to sixty years of age from the Stockwell, Light Pass and Krondorf regions. Mourvedre is collated from old bush vines, some over a century old, grown to precious little sites in the Light Pass and Krondorf regions.

Shiraz / Eden Barossa / SouthAustralia
The auspicious Shiraz vines at Hutton Vale can be proud of the most distinguished lineage, tracing their forebears through the illustrious Mt Edelstone property, back to the original James Busby clones, sired by Yalumba's Samuel Smith in the 1850s. The quality of fruit as it ripens on the vine really needs to be seen to be appreciated, tiny berries with supple leathery skins, open fermented and filled to a luxuriously high proportion of new oak hogsheads for two years maturation. Eden Valley Shiraz of the highest provenance, august yet elegant, resplendent and refined.

Grenache Mourvedre / Eden Barossa / SouthAustralia
A block or two of tough, inhospitable soils on the Hutton Vale property were planted to Grenache in the 1960s. Growing conditions were so disfavourable that many of the vines failed and had to be replaced, a highly opportune setback which turned out to be a windfall, as the recalcitrant parcels were mistakenly planted with Mataro, the stylistic soulmate of Grenache. Fermented on skins for a week, followed by two years in seasoned and new French oak puncheons, loaded with red and black fruits, savouryness and licorice, a fine tannin line, supple and soft.

CabernetSauv / Eden Barossa / SouthAustralia
Ron Angas established the illustrious Mount Edelstone vineyard in 1912, the sacred site was eventually acquired by the Henschke family and has since been the source of the nation's most memorable vintages. Cuttings were taken from Mt Edelstone in the 1960s for replanting on Hutton Vale Farm. Cabernet Sauvignon arrived somewhat later, a single five acre block planted by John Angas to challenging soils which yield less than a tonne per acre. An exquisitely small batch Barossa Cabernet of marvelous intensity and the most profound provenance.

Grenache Shiraz Mourvedre / Barossa / SouthAustralia
A profoundly structured, concentrated Rhône style GSM from hand tended vineyards, at the very heart of Barossa which date back to the 1800s. The old, deep rooted Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre vines accept their fate without blinking, perfectly timing their harvest to accompany the later ripening, lower alcohol Carignan and Cinsault, a small yet important part of the Miss Harry accord. These gnarled veterans have seen every poor growing season before and will again, due to their natural affinity for Barossa Valley.
