The 2019 Yalumba The Tri-Centenary Grenache Magnum 1500ml is a distinctive Barossa Valley Grenache sourced from old bush vines that showcase the variety's purity and regional character. Presented in a magnum format, this wine opens with expressive aromas of raspberry, red cherry and wild strawberry, complemented by hints of dried herbs, spice and subtle floral notes. The larger bottle format encourages slower maturation, allowing the wine to develop added complexity over time.
On the palate, it is medium to full-bodied with vibrant red fruit flavours, fine tannins and bright acidity providing structure and balance. Layers of red berries, spice and savoury nuances unfold across a silky texture, while careful oak handling supports the fruit without dominating it. The finish is long, fresh and finely detailed, highlighting the elegance that old-vine Barossa Grenache can achieve.
Ben's Recommendation: At Wine More Cellars, this is an excellent choice for Grenache enthusiasts looking for a wine that combines richness with finesse. The magnum format makes it ideal for sharing over a long meal and offers excellent cellaring potential. Pair with roasted lamb, chargrilled pork, duck dishes or Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, or cellar for the next 10–15 years to enjoy its evolving complexity.
