Tasting Notes for Hero of Zero Grenache 2025 from the winery

Summary: The Hero wines are hand-crafted from the best quality fruit sourced from premium vineyards across South Australia, including McLaren Vale and the Barossa. With meticulous handling in the vineyard and winery, the pristine fruit will have less exposure to anything harmful that may normally require the addition of preservatives. Our wines are crafted to be brightly coloured, exotically fragrant, full-flavoured and critically, they sing without the addition of preservatives. Perfectly suited to many cuisines, these wines are also crafted to ensure they are suitable for Vegans.

Winemaking: Healthy and problem free fruit is selected in the vineyard  and then picked in the cool of the night and then rushed to the nearby winery for a fast and focused vinification. Fermentation is cool in a closed static fermenter before a short maturation on lees and bottling. 

2025 Vintage: The 2025 vintage in South Australia was defined by an early, fast-paced harvest due to spring frosts, drought, and intense summer heat. Yields were down, but fruit quality was excellent, with concentrated flavours and natural acidity. Red wines show richness and depth, while whites maintain freshness and balance.

Tasting Note: Fruit forward showing dark plum, game, clove, and dried flower notes on the nose. The palate delivers succulent fruit flavours with a silky texture and fine-grained tannins, finishing lingering and supple.
