Grono Wines, Barossa Valley

Post by rednut »

Just curious if anyone has tried this winery?
I recently bought a 6 pack of 2004 'Epicurus' Shiraz and was wondering if anyone had good or bad reports. :wink:

I frequent the Barossa a couple of times a year and I've never heard of them either. $60/bottle straight from the winery. Much much less on various discount sites. Winery might be in trouble???

If you had to choose between drinking great wine or winning Lotto, which would you choose - Red or White?

Well I bit the bullet and opened one last night to accompany a Roast Beef.
Decanted through a Venturi and a filter, washed the bottle out and decanted back through the Venturi and a filter.
Poured two glasses and left for an hour or so.
I tried it straight after corking, strong alcohol taste.
After sitting in the glass a different beast.
Deep rich flavours, deep crimson colour, very smooth and long taste afterwards.
I'm not so worried anymore :)
