Soul Growers stands for everything that is great about the Barossa; shared wisdom, new ideas, mateship and a passion for making and enjoying great wine. It was born out of a friendship of three dedicated souls who saw the opportunity to join forces and chase their dream of creating wines and a brand that reflected their view of the Barossa.
The 2024 Soul Growers The Debutant is a blend of the old and rare French variety of Counoise and the Spanish variety of Carignan. Both from a single vineyard, these were picked together as a field blend and co-fermented in an open fermenter. This has resulted in a fresh, vibrant lighter style of red, ideal for chilling down a little and enjoying while the weather is warm.
"Sporting a watered down Ribena-like colour and bouncy aromas of red cherry, redcurrant, boysenberry and mulberry fruits with hints of soft spice, pressed purple flowers, dried citrus rind and crushed stone. Flavoursome and lively with a light textural aspect, a light umami ache and some savoury meadow herbs on the back end, this makes for lovely lively drinking at the lighter end of the scale. 92 Points. $28. 12.5% alc. Drink: 2024 - 2028."- Dave Brookes, Halliday Wine Companion.
