    Winemaker Notes

    This is a new wine project from the team of Chris Ringland and Russel and Lynette Johnstone. All of them veterans of the Australian wine industry with a specific focus on the Barossa. Their first release, Theologicum, has been a huge success and has started to develop a cult following. In keeping with the Latin theme of Theologicum the Vox Populi is a name that means the voice of the people, more specifically, a wine that the people can afford and enjoy anytime.

    The RBJ Vox Populi 2000 is 100% Grenache from the Barossa Valley. The vines are on average, 30 to 40 year old vines that yield 2 to 3 tons to the acre. Half of the wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel, the other half aged in 1 year old French Hogsheads. The winemaker, Chris Ringland of Rockford, Three Rivers and of course RBJ has fashioned a wine that is fresh and very approachable with great structure. The wine is showing beautifully now but would benefit greatly from another year or two in bottle. Winemaker Chris Ringland feels that wines like this, particularly from the Barossa can be quite deceptive at first, but with a little time and some breathing open up and display all of their gorgeous fruit characters.

    Grenache thrives in any warm, Mediterranean climate where ample sunlight allows its clusters to achieve full phenolic ripeness. While Grenache's birthplace is Spain (there called Garnacha), today it is more recognized as the key player in the red blends of the Southern Rhône, namely Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Côtes du Rhône and its villages. Somm Secret—The Italian island of Sardinia produces bold, rustic, single varietal Grenache (there called Cannonau). California, Washington and Australia have achieved found success with Grenache, both flying solo and in blends.

    A large, climatically diverse country with incredibly diverse terrain, producing just about every wine style imaginable, Australia has a grand winemaking history and some of the oldest vines on the planet. Both red wine and white wine from Australian are wildly popular and beloved. Most of Australia's wine regions are concentrated in the south of the country with those inland experiencing warm, dry conditions and those in coastal areas receiving tropical, maritime or Mediterranean weather patterns. Australia has for several decades been at the forefront of winemaking technology and has widely adopted the use of screwcaps, even for some premium and ultra-premium bottles. Thanks to the country’s relatively agreeable climate throughout and the openness of its people, experimentation is common and ongoing.

    Shiraz is indeed Australia’s most celebrated and widely planted variety; Barossa Valley leads the way, producing exceptionally bold and supple versions. Cabernet Sauvignon, Australia's second most planted variety, can be blended with Shiraz but also shines on its own particularly in Coonawarra and Margaret River. Grenache and Mourvèdre are also popular, both on their own and alongside Shiraz in Rhône Blends. Chardonnay is common throughout the country and made in a wide range of styles. Sauvignon Blanc has recently surged in popularity to compete with New Zealand’s distinctive version and Semillon is often blended in Margaret River or shines on its own in the Hunter Valley. Riesling thrives in the cool-climate Clare and Eden Valleys. Sticky-sweet fortified wine Rutherglen is a beloved regional specialty of Victoria.
