As sommeliers, Richard Betts and Carla Rzeszewski learned to identify sexy wine, and now they are making it, from ancient, own-rooted grenache vines growing in the sands of Vine Vale. They ferment it with some whole clusters, then age it in older French oak, producing a light, frisky red with flavors that seem to build vertically rather than laying out flat. The taut cherry and strawberry flavors are not particularly complex, but they are fresh and refreshing, friendly and giving.

Limpid ruby-red. Heady cherry and raspberry liqueur scents, complicated by suggestions of incense, Asian spices and candied flowers. Sappy and expansive on the palate, offering sweet red and dark berry flavors and a late, energizing note of white pepper. Shows impressive depth of flavor but carries no excess fat and finishes with excellent clarity, harmonious tannins and strong, spicy persistence.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
An insane price on a wine that MUST be tasted, honestly, to be believed. From Master Somm Richard Betts, this wines, truly, reminds one of Chateau Rayas. Indeed, it was inspired by that wine, grown in sandy soil in the Barossa, and you will be SHOCKED at how delicious it really is. Plenty of great scores and press….THE PRICE! Wow!
If you are into big, fruity, high-octane Barossa wines, this is not the drone you are looking for. This is old vine, own rooted, dry farmed, sand grown grenache that explores the feminine kiss of Grenache. Think flowers, baking spice, vibrant red fruits, savory herbs and layers of acidity through the finish.

About the Producer
Master Sommelier Richard Betts and his wife Carla created this provocative label to bring to life a wine that defies expectation and denies the status quo. They believe that the best Grenache in the world is from old vines and is grown in sand. They found that the Vine Vale portion of the Barossa Valley. Their own vineyard, The Rza Block (planted between 1860-1880), is head-trained, own-rooted and dry farmed and made with about as little intervention as humanly possible.
