Description
'Old Vines' refers to vines that produce fewer clusters of grapes, which are also smaller than those produced by younger vines. What this means is that they create wines of greater colour and fruit concentration. The old vines at Gnarly Head are between 35-80 years old. This very popular, crowd-pleasing wine will be great for pulled pork or barbecued pork ribs in a rich sauce.

Tasting Notes
If there were such a thing as smoked blackberries, this tasty wine would resemble a light version of that. It's gushing with fresh-crushed cherry and berry flavors, great acidity and firm tannins, while accents of wood smoke and dried meat peek through, adding complexity. It's not sweet, it's not over-oaked, it's not too full bodied it's just well-balanced and delicious. Rated #15 in the 2015 Wine Enthusiast Top 100 Best Buys. Score - 90.
