Description
Why we love it
A classic Barossa blend crafted by one of the world’s great winemakers from old-vine Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvedre grapes.
Tasting notes
Deep red in colour with a purple tint. On the nose, lifted, vibrant red-fruit aromas, with underlying notes of liquorice, cinnamon and a hint of smokey oak. On the palate, generous, velvety layers of red and black fruits, with hints of savoury spice. Gentle tannins. A very long and pure finish.
Food pairing
Pair with a rib-eye steak, grilled or barbecued red meat, or charcuterie.
Additional information
The parcels of fruit were fermented separately with a submerged cap in open stainless-steel fermenters. A portion of the Grenache ferment included whole bunches to accentuate the savoury aspects of the variety. The wine was barrel matured for 15 months, with 10% in new French oak and the remainder in older, seasoned oak.
The blend is 45% Shiraz, 32% Grenache and 23% Mourvedre.
