“Jaysen Collins is one of those artisans who finds parcels of amazing old Barossa fruit and lets them articulate the most lucid impression. This rare grenache comes from a 150-year-old bush vine block in the Angaston foothills, the whole bunches picked earlyish to finish at 12.5% alcohol only, brought to the gentlest of fermentations and now revealing blood, cherry, flint, salts and minerals.”

“This ‘The JC’s Own’ is Jaysen Collins’ ‘project wines’ that stem from his very good work at the bloody good Massena winery in the Barossa Valley. I guess here, JC’s Own allows him some additional flexibility in winemaking style. Satisfying his own interests, so to speak. The aesthetic of the labelling and broad, round-shouldered bottle already suggest something about eclectic style, edginess. This is a wine produced from grenache from a 150-year-old vineyard in the Angaston Foothills of Barossa Valley. Amazing. It is 100% whole bunch, naturally fermented and bottled without fining and filtration.
Quite a wine. Dances around in its way. Smells of sweet earth, briar, coal, tobacco, black currants and ripe, dark plums. Palate is lighter than expected, licked with green herbs and peppery spice, squeaky and cool in texture. Slips around the palate well, dark fruits yet feels refreshing, shows spice, cola, herbs then firms up on fine, skinsy, sappy tannins. Lively and lots going on. Satisfying drink; hard not to love. Get in early.”
