Some vineyards are lush, others fight for survival—and Hopeless Hill, where the Greenock Creek Cornerstone Grenache is grown, is the latter. A tough, quartz-laden 2-acre block where only Grenache (and the occasional weed) dares to thrive. But from struggle comes exceptional wine. Hand-picked and whole-berry fermented, this 2023 vintage is nothing short of spectacular—one of the best in living memory. The sandy soils bring a vibrant red fruit burst, while the flint and quartz add a mineral backbone. Expect strawberries, raspberries, red plums, and white pepper spice, all wrapped in silky tannins and subtle oak. Bright acidity and a long, textured finish make this a Grenache that’s as complex as it is drinkable. If you're looking for a premium Barossa Grenache with elegance, depth, and a touch of wild character—this is it.
