Hamish Seabrook’s great aunty, Mary Seabrook, was smart, sassy, and blessed with good looks. Early in her career, Mary worked as a fashion model, then at Melbourne’s ABC radio statio where she often mingled with the stars of media. Inevitably she was lured into the Seabrook wine merchant business, where she blended and prepared wine with her brother Douglas.

Tasting Note: This fruit forward blend of 50% Grenache, 40% Shiraz and 10% Mataro, brings out a peppery but spft floral style of red, with dominant blackberry & Cassis characters with notes of cloves spice and soft subtle tannins.
Vineyard: The Shiraz and Mataro is grown on our ‘Home Block’ estate vineyard, on the Eastern Ridge of the Barossa Valley. The rows are orientated north south and the vineyard captures most of the afternoon sun. The shallow soils consist of innocuous clay and loams over white non-reactive clays. This coupled with the orientation and aspect, allow perfect conditions for early ripening. The small berry size and the low cropping levels provide much of the concentration needed for the blend. While the Grenache Sourced from a premium, single vineyard in the tiny hamlet of Greenock, on the western-ranges of the Barossa Valley, this vineyard provides us with both 50-year-old, bush-vine Grenache along with a small replanting on young bush-vine Grenache. Grown on deep red clay soils with the occasional pockets of ironstone and sandy loam, the complexity of the soils, and contrast between the vine age creates shows through to the glass.
Harvest: Great winter and spring rains helped fill the soil profile and set up the vines for a good season. A windy spring resulted in poor fruit set which resulted in a lower than first estimated crop. Late spring and summer were quite dry and hot. Ripening was fast in the first and second weeks of January and we thought we may be the earliest harvest on record. A late rain event in February resulted in 100 mm of rain which slowed ripening down. Harvest commenced on 18th of Feb, just a week later after the rain event.
