Hewitson Mourvedre 'Old Garden' 2004 750ml
| In 1853 Friedrich Koch planted this Mourvèdre vineyard in the heart of the Barossa Valley. In deep sand over a bed of limestone the vines flourished. By the 1880s the local vignerons had already acknowledged the vineyard as the Old Garden. To the end of the 19th Century, throughout the 20th Century and now into the 21st Century subsequent generations of Koch’s family have tended these vines in the traditions of the Barossa: bush vines, no irrigation, hand pruned and hand harvested. Today nothing has changed. Old Garden is likely to be the oldest Mourvèdre vineyard in the world. | |
