About This Wine
The Old Garden vineyard is the oldest Mourvèdre vineyard in the world, planted in 1853 at Rowland Flat. It is dry-grown, pre-phylloxera, and consists of original vines, with eight rows remaining.
The vineyard has been hand-tended and dry-farmed across generations by Friedrich Koch and his descendants. Soils comprise deep sand over limestone, formed from an ancient lake bed.
The wine is produced as a single-vineyard expression from these original vines, using a high proportion of whole bunch fermentation and extended vat time before ageing in new French oak barriques.
