The wines hallmark is its freshness due to old oak ageing and as the name describes it is a wine best drunk in its youth, poured by the glass at your favourite restaurant.

Cuvée Juveniles was created as a ‘Cotes Du Rhone’ inspired bistro wine from the classic Barossa varieties of Grenache & Mataro (Mourvedre) from mostly unirrigated old vine vineyards.

Alongside these three Barossa cornerstones, Torbreck has planted two other traditional Rhone varieties: Counoise and Carignan. These give savoury and spicy notes to the blend, and add a level of complexity, depth and bottle ageing potential. A wine that will enthuse the Francophile yet still win over Barossa fans.

Magenta with a bright ruby hue. A perennial favourite, Grenache from old vines shows its ability to exhibit lifted florals, juicy red fruit characters such as red cherry, red currant along with boysenberry and secondary notes of white pepper. The addition of Rhone varietals Counoise and Carignan add a savoury and spicy complexity. Mataro adds aromas of beef jerky and Chinese five spice. The palate exhibits a medium-bodied texture with long acidity balancing a fruit freshness around a slightly firmer tannin frame than previous vintages. Serve with an array of cuisines including spicy Asian or Mexican dishes at or below 14C/58F. Enjoy from release -7 years.
