The pinnacle of our wine production, the Holy Grail is our newest estate vineyard situated amongst the ‘Avenue of Hopes & Dreams’ in the sub-region of Seppeltsfield in the Barossa Valley. This wine comes from a block of Shiraz planted Sur Echalas. This form of propagation is the ancient trellis system used in France’s venerated Northern Rhône Valley region, where Syrah vines are planted and trained to a stake. ‘Sur Echalas’ translates in English to ‘on a stake or pole’.

The echalas style must be managed by hand. From budburst, the vines are tied to the 1.8-metre stake three times throughout the growing season until finally the vines are joined together to the shape of a love heart. The crop is thinned to one bunch per shoot, allowing a large solar panel of leaves for the bunch to achieve perfect maturity slowly and effortlessly.

Tasting Notes

COLOUR | Deep rich purple in colour with a slight red hue.

AROMA | An explosive bouquet of strawberry, rhubarb, clove, blood plum, mint, herb, cut flower, rosemary and leather. There is a lot going on here and every time you lift the wine to your nose, new aromas slowly emerge.

PALATE | The palate starts out dense and flavour filled, with blackcurrant, soy, tapenade, liquorice and mocha. Every element here works in perfect harmony which makes the fruit disappear across the palate effortlessly and seamlessly, the bright acidity drives the dense fruit profile.

The Growing Season

The 2021 vintage delivered near perfect conditions. Strong winter and spring rainfall built healthy soil moisture, while a mild growing season with only one day above 40°C allowed for slow, even ripening. Small to moderate berries brought natural concentration, while a timely late February rain helped the vines finish with balance and composure. The fruit showed purity, structure and finesse, making it a clear standout for Invenienda. With careful barrel selection over time, the 2021 release captures the precision of The Clos and the quiet confidence of an exceptional Barossa season.

Vinification

Fermented in 3 small timber fermenters custom crafted for Invenienda, to ensure a slow fermentation over 10 to 14 days.

Technical Information

Once ferment is nearing completion, the skins are submerged with barrel heads and then sealed for a further 60 days, so the must can macerate and intensify the flavour. After this long process, our Chief Winemaker, Richard Langford, and his team drains the free-run juice from the fermenters and the skins are pressed. The quality of fruit in the vineyard and care and attention to detail throughout the winemaking process means that the finished wine does not require fining or filtering.
