Drawing on Grand Marnier Cordon Rouge heritage, the fifth & sixth generations of the Marnier-Lapostolle family have created Quintessence, a sublime reinterpretation of the original creation. Long-aged Grand Champagne cognacs some coming from Paradis itself, are combined with twice-distilled bigaradia citrus essence. The bigaradia peel is soaked in neat alcohol to create the first distillate; another batch of peel is then added to achieve a double distillation, which refines & intensifies the aroma. These intricate processes help to develop an exceptional aromatic richness

Filsell 2010 is a refined & elegant wine, displaying more ethereal characters than previous vintages. An incredible depth of colour gives some indication as to the vibrant aromas which arise from the glass, which has lifted notes of ripe raspberries, sweet spices (nutmeg & cinnamon) & choc-mint layered subtly with aniseed & freshly baked bread. The palate is fine, with seamlessly integrated tannins & rounded acidity. The concentration & length of flavour is excellent, with sweet red berry fruits, spice & milk chocolate lingering on the palate well after tasting. ...

Grant's Filsell vineyard with near century old vines is considered one of the best vineyards in the Barossa Valley & consistently produces fruit of great intensity & concentration. Planted in 1920, this vineyard also produces the fruit for Grant's flagship Shiraz, the highly acclaimed Meshach. Filsell is known to loyal followers as Meshach's younger brother. The cooler 2011 vintage required careful fruit monitoring in the vineyard & selective hand picking of most blocks. The wines produced are of exceptional quality, thanks in part to the lower crops of the old vines used to produce Filsell Shiraz. ...

A traditional blend of Grenache & Shiraz produced using the saigne method, which involves bleeding the juice from the skins after a short period of contact.

The wine shows a complex nose with ripe stone fruits, rock melon & apricots on the nose. A rich & generous palate, the fruit flavour continues from the nose & layers of flavours are assisted by the wine's time on lees. A fresh, crisp & medium-bodied wine, showing good acid balance, & a delicious lingering finish. The fruit was crushed & cold-settled before starting fermentation. Juice was racked off & yeast added, so the juice could ferment in stainless steel tanks for about eight weeks. A portion of the blend underwent malolactic fermentation on yeast lees & a further 20% was aged on yeast lees for about four months to add complexity & viscosity to the wine. After settling, filtering & stabilising, the wine was then blended & bottled. ...
