Description

Incredibly deep red, almost black in colour, this wine shows all the usual blackberry, star anise and ferrous characters that we have come to expect from this site. Rich and ripe on the palate, it displays plenty of texture and length driven by the robust natural tannins present. Excellent cellaring potential.

Gaelic Cemetery Wines

Gaelic Cemetery Wines is a joint venture between Neil and Andrew Pike of Pikes Wines, vigneron Grant Arnold and the Barletta brothers Ben and Mario. The aim of the winery is quite simple and that is to craft small volumes of super premium Clare Valley wines that best reflect vintage, variety and the uniqueness of place.

The joint venture and label are named after the originating vineyard site on Gaelic Cemetery Road, next to the historic cemetery of the region’s Scottish pioneers. The label design reflects the simplicity and minimal intervention approach that is taken with the wine. The central image of the thistle is taken from one of the original headstones in the cemetery itself.

The vineyard is one of the earliest ripening shiraz vineyards in the region. Smaller plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec make up the balance of varietal reds while Riesling is the predominant white grape variety in the vineyard.
