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, from the German Weingarten. This blend is just one of those blessings. The traditions and culture have survived to this day, including the winemaking techniques used in this grenache blend. It is produced from low-yielding, old, gnarled, dry-grown bush and trellised vines on limestone soils from selected vineyards.

Crimson in colour. Dark and brooding aromas of ripe plums, raspberries and blueberries are followed by attractive spicy notes of mace, anise, cinnamon and black pepper.


The nose perfectly supports the palate that is equally rich and concentrated with a balance of fine acidity and velvety tannins providing complexity and length.


70% Grenache, 25% Mataro and 5% Shiraz
