This wine is named after our paternal Grandmother, who would drive from her home in Gippsland, Victoria, to come and babysit us as often as possible, and to prune the 300 odd rose bushes on our original Nuriootpa estate. Nan, as we called her, was always up for a glass of wine in the afternoon. Whilst happy to drink anything, one of her favourite sayings was "Red wine is a party!".From our vineyard atop Mengler Hill in the Eden Valley, one of the highest Grenache vineyards in Australia at 550m above sea level. This was formerly used by Thistledown for their Fool on the Hill Grenache. The leaner, rockier soils are scattered with pink quartz and ironstone. With three clones planted in bush vine formation, these vines have very little access to water and so are extremely low yielding, however with fruit density and a finely detailed yet assertive tannin profile with intensity in abundance.
