To celebrate International Grenache Day on Friday 23 September we are offering a vertical tasting of three vintages of Johann’s Garden in cellar door!

Johann's Garden was named as a tribute to the early Barossa Lutheran pioneers, many of whom carried the first name of Johann. Their toil, perseverance and conservatism in hardship has meant that the many generations that followed rejoiced in the riches of their prudent efforts. Barossa growers traditionally referred to their vineyard as their garden. This blend is just one of those blessings. The traditions and culture have survived to this day including the wine-making techniques used in this grenache blend. It is produced from low-yielding, old, gnarled, dry-grown bush and trellised vines from selected vineyards.
