The vineyard is a true reflection of Glenn and his personality: unique, and in the years it yields a crop, of such quality that Hayes bottles it as a small-volume Vineyard Series wine. 2021 was one such year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2021 Barossa vintage was remembered as an almost faultless season — good spring rains brought soil moisture levels not seen in years, followed by a warm, dry growing season with balanced, healthy canopies. The result was an average-sized crop of exceptional quality, arguably the best vintage in a decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHand-picked at relatively low baumé late in the season, as is typical for this block. The fruit was destemmed and fermented for 18 days on skins before being transferred to a single puncheon for maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighly perfumed, medium to full-bodied, with the five-spice character often seen from this block. Dense fruit with a savoury edge, and great length and persistence — a wine that can be enjoyed for many years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barossa Valley (Ebenezer)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVariety:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100% Grenache\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVineyard:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry-grown bush vines, \u0026lt;2 acres, planted generations ago\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaking:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18 days on skins, matured in a single puncheon\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.1%\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e 670 bottles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCellaring:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5+ years\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinemaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Andrew Seppelt\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eHayes Family Wines is a small-scale, family-owned and -run producer in Stone Well, in the heart of the Barossa Valley.
