Massena Barossa, Australia |

Jaysen Collins & Dan Standish |

Massena was an idea shared between Dan Standish when he was at Torbreck, and Jaysen Collins while he was at Turkey flat. During the harvest in 1999 they would make the moon lit drive home from the Valley together and talk about the wine they would drink to wash down a long days work. Well it seems that that wine would be of the Rhone family and made from only the best in dry-grown and low yielding grapes in the Barossa Valley. What they did was begin purchasing top fruit from small family growers in the Valley that tend to 140+ year-old Shiraz, 120+ year-old Grenache and 45+ year-old Cinsault for their ‘The Moonlight Run’ and ‘The Eleventh Hour’. The quality of the raw material shaped the direction of the winery as they bring a clean, un-intrusive technique to this project. Gently basket pressed, open fermented and aged in seasoned oak to show true varietal characteristics while paying homage to the region behind their inspiration. The most recent additions have been ‘The Howling Dog’ which sources 3 younger Petite Syrah vineyards in Nuriootpa and ‘The Surly Muse’ which is a blend of Ebenezer and Adelaide Hills Viognier. |
