Critic reviews

James Halliday – A contemporary expression of Vale grenache with a whiff of gum leaf, for tradition's sake. A skirt of sandy tannins, carved from the seabed with the precision of a scalpel. Kirsch, fecund strawberry, white pepper, Seville orange and tea tree. Frisky yet ample, with the levity of drinkability the endgame despite a somewhat drying finish. Ned Goodwin, Halliday Wine Companion

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – The 2021 Basso Grenache is supple and pliable and flexible and beautiful—it is luscious in a very fresh, musky way—gorgeous wine. Yum!I'm not sure if I'm allowed to directly quote some of the sage words that winemakers pass on to me, but this is too precise and correct to allow to linger in my notes alone. From his mouth to my ear: "If you can tell how the wine is made before you know where the wine is from, you’ve f***** it up. Terroir exists, the trick is not to get in the way." – Steve Pannell. True. Erin Larkin, Wine Advocate

About this Wine

Gold Medal Winner 2023 Melbourne Royal Wine Awards

100% Grenache Noir harvested at 13.7 Baumé, fermented in open-top fermenters with

The idea for a low sulphur, unfiltered Grenache had been bubbling away for a few years and in 2017 access to the right fruit from an old dry-grown vineyard, sparked the Basso project to life. From the Latin Bassus, meaning low, refers to the minimal preservative used in the winemaking enabling this precious variety to speak clearly of where it is grown.

Picked on the 27th of February with a Baume of 13.3. Fermented in open top fermenters with gentle pump overs and 9 days on skins before gentle pressing. Transferred after settling to large old French oak vats for malolactic fermentation and extended maturation. Racked twice and bottled, without fining or adjustment on the 16th of December 2021. Lighter, warm-climate red wines based on Grenache particularly from McLaren Vale have a well-deserved place on the tables of diners. Youthful and flavoursome wines that match where and how we live and the food we love to cook and eat.

The fifth release and our most beguiling to date. Perfumed, poised and pretty with violets, raspberry, rhubarb, pink musk sticks, lilac, exotic timber and brick dust reminiscent of sitting on a red brick fence insummer surrounded by a lush garden slurping on a raspberry Sunny Boy waiting on no one nor anything in particular.

Coiled and compact on opening, waiting to pounce before stretching its limbs and delivering a balancebetween acid, tannin and abundant fruit after a touch of air. A powerful reminder of wh we love Grenache. – Steve Pannell
