This vineyard is situated in the hills above the township of Clarendon, planted in 1920. The wine from here is always very aromatic, lovely scents of cherry, plum with lavender and basil notes in the background. The wine is always one of the most attractive wines in the portfolio. Roman Bratasiuk, the owner/winemaker

The 2002 Grenache Old Vines Romas Vineyard’s saturated ruby/purple color is followed by a superb bouquet of black fruits, truffles, Asian spices, figs, and licorice. Powerful, rich, and upfront, this layered, intensely concentrated Grenache can be drunk now or cellared for 10-12 years. Roman Bratasiuk is one of Planet Earth’s greatest winemakers, and obviously a top-notch viticulturist given his obsession with sourcing extraordinary fruit from ancient McLaren Vale vineyards.

The 2002 Grenache Romas Vineyard has an inky/purple color more akin to Syrah than Grenache. Exhibiting the essence of blackberry liqueur, it is just beginning to reveal secondary nuances (Asian spices, figs, and licorice). Full-bodied and powerful, with an unreal finish, it will be at its peak between 2006-2016. Wine Advocate # 148
