Wine Making Notes:
Careful blending is at core of this wine, but as always, we harvested each component separately. The Tempranillo is the first component harvested, next the Shiraz and one week later is the Sangiovese. We vinify and mature every variety separately, using only aged French oak barrels to ensure harmony of tannin structure without too much oak presence.
Our aim seeks to blend the perfume and spice of Tempranillo, the savoury zest with high acidity of Sangiovese, and the gentle power of Shiraz.

Pindarie is located at the gateway to the Barossa Valley, on Gomersal Road on the Western Ridge.
A family owned property, with Tony Brooks at the helm after taking over from his grandfather in 1990. Together with Wendy the transformation of Pindarie began.
What was once a run-down & over-cleared farm has become a sustainable and regenerated property with Tony and Wendy planting over 12,500 trees in the last 20 years.
Prior to returning to Pindarie, Tony had jackarooed on a number of Outback Stations around Australia, and studied at Roseworthy Agricultural College, South Australia in 1985. When he graduated he worked overseas managing sheep feedlots in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Jordan. Tony has a strong connection to the land and a passion for renovating old buildings. He believes land must be looked after in a sustainable manner. In his spare time you will find Tony restoring the old buildings on Pindarie, planting trees… He is a man of action who doesn’t really have ‘spare time’.
Wendy was born in New Zealand into a large family on a sheep, cattle and deer farm deep in the South Island. She came to South Australia in 1985 to study Viticulture at Roseworthy Agricultural College where she met Tony. After graduating, Wendy then worked for the next 12 years with the Penfolds Wine Group, starting as a Grower Liaison officer and working her way up to Senior Viticulturist. During her working career, she travelled overseas to California, Israel, Italy, Germany, France, Portugal, Spain and Chile, to conduct study tours and assess vineyards for wine projects. In 2001 Wendy completed a Graduate Diploma in Wine Business.
Pindarie is a beautiful property and home to Tony, Wendy and their three children. Opening the Cellar door has allowed them to share what they love. Historic buildings, meticulously restored, wide open spaces, family friendly, sustainable and the very best grapes they can grow turned into wine.
Medium-bodied, lively and lovely.
Bright red in colour; bright and perfumed on the nose, and very rewarding on the palate.
This year the (perhaps the best we have ever grown) Tempranillo is to the fore, but it’s a wine that would be much less satisfying without the three varieties together.
A bit “bigger” than previous years but very well balanced.
The Tempranillo was darker in colour than previous years and with delicious Morello cherry fruit, similar to the 2016.
The Sangiovese produced a wine of intense perfume without astringency.
The awards say it all!
Great drinking all year round, especially with a platter of Spanish or Italian cured meats, good green olives and caper berries, Manchego cheese and crusty bread.
Or try with your favourite pasta dish loaded with sauce.
