From humble beginnings in 2000
when its first vintage was made in the
then winemaker’s kitchen, RockBare
has taken a significant step forward
thanks to ownership power involving
California’s Jackson family and
Victoria’s Valmorbida clan.

Grenache so pure and delicate it borders on angelic (or celestial, if you prefer). The gentlest touch, and the effective expulsion of oak, has given you a picture of grenache at its prettiest.

Offering lovely varietal purity, the wine shows sweetly perfumed aromas of raspberry and dark plum on the nose with nuances of toasted nut, thyme and floral. The palate is equally charming and delectable with juicy fruit intensity and rounded mouthfeel, backed by silky texture and polished tannins. At its best: now to 2023.

Beautiful statement of McLaren Vale grenache.
Lifted rose petal and leafy notes on the nose with a
touch of raspberry spiciness. Slightly chalky tannins
with a seamless smooth palate texture that extends
effortlessly to a very long finish.
