McLaren Vale is home to some of the most treasured old vine plantings in the world today with the earliest known plantings dating back to the 19th century. We affectionately refer to them as The Old Faithful. They are a resource we treasure dearly.The Old Faithful founded by wine mates in 2005 is an artisan producer of small quantities of wines from older exceptional vineyards. We look for vineyards that are expressive of McLaren Vale the vintage and the variety and only release our wines when the wines display these finest characters.With the Rhone as its inspiration Shiraz and Grenache grace our portfolio. Made to age gracefully we believe in and recommend our wines and hope you can enjoy the magic of The Old Faithful.This release of Grenache nicknamed Black Tip is blended from an expressive site in alluvial schist soil in McLaren Flat. Vines are around 80 years old.After hand harvesting from bush vines the grapes undergo open small tank ferment slowly with a mix of natural and cultured yeasts and a small proportion of whole bunches. On pressing the wine was transferred to seasoned French oak puncheons for two years to slowly mature for complexity and tertiary regional expression.Only the best barrels were selected for the final wine with a small amount of Shiraz from the same block included for structure. Bottled with light filtration no fining.

Tasting Notes
Dark purple with a magenta hue.Nose Complex a redolent pot purri and fragrant raspberry. Hints of coffee grounds forest floor and spice with an interesting Turkish delight lift. Hint of stalkiness adds interest.Palate Lovely crisp acidity with dark fruits fine graphite dark chocolate tannin and a varietal freshness like cranberry on the finish.2023 Vintage Exceptionally wet and cool early season but then a dry finish allowing long hangtime and flavour accumulation. A highly regarded Grenache vintage.Potential Whilst cracking as a young wine medium to long-term cellaring is recommended.Winemaking Nick Haselgrove

J Mason
Just a quick note to say I am so glad I found Australia Tasting Room! Since leaving Australia, I have missed some of my favorite wines. I researched other freight companies, but none offered the personal touch service of Australia Tasting Room. You have a great selection from the best vineyards. You added others upon request, and also gave great recommendations when asked. And customer service does not stop with the purchase— The team keep me updated on the shipment every step of the way! I cannot imagine a better service from people who know wine and love to share that knowledge. You have a customer for life! Cheers, J Mason

The wine was delivered by GSO Courier early this am and was in perfect shipping condition. The bottle temperature was cool to the touch which is amazing given we have been hitting 37C every day for the last week here in our California summer.
Well done!
I have put the wine into our temperature controlled bottle storage to let them rest for a week (mostly for the 3 bottles of red). I did put one of the Rosés in the frig which we will try tomorrow because we are out to dinner tonight with friends.
Your Rose of Virginia is my favorite rosé, above French and Californians that we have consumed with Tablas Creek “Dianthus” from near Paso Robles being a second.
Now that we have experienced a shipment from you, I am sure we will order a couple of cases more but will wait until weather is cooler for us and the wine.
Again thanks for an excellent wine and the good service.
Cheers,
Richard A.

The wine arrived last week in good shape - nothing broken or leaked. Your packing design is impressive. Laying it down for a couple of months to settle in. Looking forward to enjoying it. Thanks very much

Australia Tasting Room is a very fine company, with professional direction and management. I appreciate the friendly service, and all your efforts above and beyond to make all deliveries happen. Most impressive were the instant answers and responses any time I had a question. All during a pandemic! Pretty amazing when you think about it.
Highest regards,
Judy M
P.S. One Contact, One Process, and One Delivery - customers and wine treated equally and expertly, with care. You really can’t beat that! Great job.

Hi,
Glad to hear my last case from our trip is on its way!
Your service has been very helpful in getting my wine shipped safely to me. All previous four cases arrived safely.
Now I need to order my “wine needs” via internet and use your services again.
Best regards,
George

Amazing professionalism and kind assistance from Australia Tasting Room!
I was experiencing confusion with a wine order from a winery in Australia and Australia Tasting Room actually intervened to help clarify things. And not just with a simple email, but with a phone call!! We spoke directly and sorted out the details. It was a wonderful reminder that chivalry and quality customer service still exists!! We will use them in a heartbeat!!

Our twelve pack of Tasmanian treats arrived yesterday afternoon without a scratch on them! Now we get to enjoy drinking them with family and friends. Hopefully we can toast some excellent defensive draft picks by the Packers soon!
Thanks for an excellent experience with Australia Tasting Room!
If you ever find yourself in Wisconsin, let us know. We're only an hour away from Lambeau.

I received all of the wines. That was certainly quicker than I expected. I appreciate everything that you and Cape Mentelle did to make it easy ship all of the wines to us.

Thank you again for your expedited attention to our order and its shipping. The wine has arrived in wonderful condition, and we shared a bottle with one of our friends on Friday who enjoyed it as much as we did.
We will continue to watch for its availability in our area, and we wish you continued success.
Best regards,
Jerry K.

Wanted you to know that the wine arrived in my office today! I am way past impressed at how quickly the shipment got here. The next time I get to Australia, I won't hesitate to ship more wine back to the States.
