Lucas Grigsby is a Bannockburn legend. He has been the viticultural manager for the last 35 years and knows these vineyards like nobody ever has or likely ever will. The wine named in his honour comes from just 0.87-acres of close-planted vines that were grafted over from Shiraz in 2019. The clone is Bernard 76. Grigsby and Matt Holmes introduced the Bernard clone to Bannockburn to expand the vineyard's clonal palette, which, in the beginning, was mostly Penfolds clones.
Grigsby is broad and rich, offering ripe stone fruit, fennel, white chocolate and creamy oak on the nose. The palate brings ripe fruit, nougat and spiced yoghurt, with Clone 76 adding distinctive fruit character and the high-density planting contributing concentration and texture. Previously known as De la Roche, “of the rock”, it is expansive but not loose, with grip, power, saline freshness and bright acidity. Generous, delicious and deeply layered, this is the most complete expression of Grigsby to date.
