Deep crimson with aromas of damson plum, black cherry and boysenberry fruits over hints of baking spices, charcuterie, violets, licorice, dark chocolate, oak spice and earth. Plummy and pure on the palate, with a fine, silty tannin architecture and bright sour-cherry acidity. A nicely drawn-out finish, balanced and layered with spice and comforting dark fruits.
This wine has an impressive nose, featuring aromas of dark berries, rich flowers, and mixed spices. On the palate, it offers succulent fruit flavours with excellent weight, complemented by a smooth texture and polished tannins. The wine is beautifully rounded yet wonderfully structured, leading to a persistent, flavoursome finish.
Generous and aromatic with dark plums, blackberries, baking spices, licorice, cedar and dried herbs on the nose. The palate is full-bodied with supple tannins and a rounded, textural mouthfeel, finishing with a savory, fruit-driven edge. A plush and approachable GSM blend.
Deeply scented with perfumed aromas of blackberries, violets, blood plums and dried herbs. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins and focused acidity, giving notes of raspberries, dark cherries, ferric earth and cured meat. Very well balanced and supple with a savory undertone.
A beautifully bright, spacey and detailed blend of 56/25/19% grenache/shiraz/mourvédre with a snappy minerally line, chewy, powdered granite tannins and loads of bright red berry raspberry and red plummy fruit. Spicy, too, with a gentle floral facet, gingerbread notes and a really easy-drinking vibe. I like it a lot.
The 22nd release of this particular grenache/shiraz/mourvèdre blend (this year 45/30/25%); from vines up to 90-plus years of age across Trial Hill, Light Pass, Nuriootpa, Seppeltsfield and Vine Vale. And it’s a good ‘un! Bright, perfumed and detailed with super-pure plummy fruit, layers of spice, earth, florals, gingerbread and roasting meat goodness. Driven by a vivid line of lacy acidity and framed with powdery tannin, it seems like it is a good place and will provide great drinking over the medium term.
The 2021 Kennedy Grenache-Shiraz-Mourvèdre is saturated with raspberry pip, spicy capsicum, salted licorice and loads of spice. It’s a fun little wine, with more than a dollop of savory tannin. There is plenty to love about this wine—it’s joyous in a way, a delicious thing.
From the Barossa Valley wine region, Sons of Eden Kennedy 2020 is a savoury, dry and medium-plus-bodied 45% Grenache, 30% Shiraz and 25% Mourvèdre red blend with grapes sourced from vines 20-plus to 90-plus years of age. The wine was so named as a tribute to the legendary Barossa Vignerons who pioneered the planting of the vineyards that exist there to this day. This GSM is plushy on the palate with ripe red berry, dark berry, plum, pepper spice and savoury herb flavours with a long and satisfying finish.
A very savory red with berry, orange-peel and walnut aromas and flavors. Medium body, round and creamy tannins and a spicy finish. Lots going on! Yet, it’s subtle and very drinkable. Drink or hold.

Vineyards:
The Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre varieties were all hand harvested and fermented separately. To aid colour, tannin and flavour extraction the three parcels were cold soaked for a short period prior to fermentation. Post ferment the Grenache and Mourvedre vessels were left on skins for an additional 11 days before being pressed straight to large oak puncheons for maturation. These parcels were matured in oak for 12 months with minimal intervention, before being blended, naturally clarified and then bottled.
The KENNEDY is a classic blend of old vine Barossa Valley Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre varieties. Named as a tribute to the legendary Barossa Vigneron’s who pioneered the planting of the old treasured vineyards, which the Barossa enjoys today. The Grenache fruit is the ‘soul’ of this blend and is from an exceptionally low yielding 60+ year-old Light Pass Vineyard. Originally planted by the Kennedy Family, with ownership eventually being passed onto the charismatic Leo ‘Joe’ KENNEDY who nurtured the vines for many years, selling his prized fruit to local winemakers.
