“Occasionally, wines make themselves known through the grapevine, so to speak. Some wines make such an impression that word gets out, and we are left with no choice but to track them down. The Bulman Grenaches are such wines. I heard about them from another wine reviewer here in Australia and set out to find how I might taste them.
Mark Bulman was winemaker at Turkey Flat in the Barossa from 2008 and developed a love for Grenache during that time. The 2016 Turkey Flat won the Jimmy Watson Trophy at the Royal Melbourne Wine Show in 2017, the first time a varietal Grenache had won that trophy. It marked a turning point in Bulman’s career, and these wines seem to be the starting point, the open door to the next chapter in his career.
While both the Blewitt Springs and Eden Valley wines here are starkly defined and distinct, they are united in their pure representation of Grenache’s capability for tannic structure without the support of oak. Both wines are impressively shaped and textured. Both wines make a clear statement of the beauty inherent in this grape in Australia. Resistance, as they say, is futile.”
