Cirillo Estate Wines: Guardians of the World’s Oldest Grenache

Nine Generations in Barossa Valley

The Cirillo family has farmed in Australia’s Barossa Valley for over nine generations, but what truly sets them apart is their stewardship of some of the world’s oldest Grenache vines, planted in 1848. Today, Marco Cirillo continues this legacy, crafting wines that honor the heritage of the land while embracing modern precision.

Old Vines, Living History

The 1848 Grenache vines in Cirillo’s family vineyards are among the oldest producing Grenache vines on earth. Dry-farmed and rooted in sandy soils with ironstone and clay, these vines yield small quantities of concentrated, perfumed fruit. The resulting wines are not just beverages but pieces of viticultural history, connecting drinkers directly to the earliest days of Australian wine.

The Vincent: Pure Expression of Grenache

Among Cirillo’s offerings, The Vincent Grenache stands out as an accessible yet authentic expression of Barossa Grenache. Made from a combination of old vines and younger plantings, it shows fragrant red fruits, subtle spice, and supple tannins — a style that balances Barossa richness with finesse.

Minimal Intervention and Family Tradition

Cirillo Estate practices sustainable viticulture, hand-harvesting and working with minimal intervention in the cellar. Marco’s philosophy is clear: respect the fruit, respect the vine, and let Grenache speak for itself. The result is wines that are vibrant, transparent, and deeply rooted in place.

Why Cirillo Matters Today

In a region often known for blockbuster Shiraz, Cirillo shines a spotlight on Grenache as a noble grape of Barossa. Their stewardship of ancient vines, commitment to family traditions, and focus on artisanal, sustainable, minimal-intervention wine make Cirillo Estate one of the most important voices in Australian fine wine today.
