Old-vine Grenache with fragrance and lifted spice

Always a favourite in the Ochota Barrels lineup, The Green Room comes from dry-grown Grenache planted in 1946 in the Onkaparinga Hills on Kaurna Country. Rino’s organic vineyard sits among fig, olive and peach trees, with its old vines rooted in red loamy clay and ironstone over deep limestone.

Hand-picked across two harvest dates, including one beneath a blood moon eclipse, the fruit spent 12 days on skins with 60% whole bunches. The wine then matured for four months in seasoned French oak before being bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Lifted spice, plum compote, thyme and white pepper mingle with a deeply savoury, almost bouillon-like aroma. The palate is generous on entry yet fresh and finely poised, with pomegranate, lingonberry and fine-grained texture giving it an almost Pinot-like elegance. At just 11.4% alcohol, it is fragrant, vivid and beautifully light on its feet.

Why we love it

Perfumed and savoury with old-vine depth, combining bright red fruit, herbal spice and finely textured, Pinot-like elegance.

About the Winemaker
In the Adelaide Hills, Amber and the team at Ochota Barrels creates wines that honor the memory of founder Taras Ochota, continuing his vision under the stewardship of Amber, Yari, and Louis.

These are wines born of intuition - grapes picked when they're irresistibly delicious, guided by natural acidity and wild fermentation. Old bush vines in living soil produce concentrated fruit that speaks for itself through minimal intervention winemaking.

Following Occam's Razor, they believe simplicity reveals truth. The result: gorgeous, authentic wines with none of the nasties and all of the love—a celebration of place, season, and the human spirit that tends the vines.
