Description
In a nutshell:
A beautifully balanced Australian red from the McLaren Vale.
The lowdown:
Quite an unusually elegant take on Grenache which almost has a Pinot Noir like delicacy. The fruit for this is from low yielding 70 year old unirrigated bush vines from Blewitt Springs in the McLaren Vale region south of Adelaide. About 70% of the wne was fermented in concrete in layers of whole bunch and crushed fruit while the remainder underwent wild fermentation in an open fermenter. It was then aged for 10 months in French oak puncheons. The wine is violet scented with bright red fruit on the palate with a subtle savoury oak mingling through it. The crisp acidity and fine tannins give just the right balance and structure as it leads to a warm silky finish.
When to drink:
It's an excellent match to foods with a North African influence, or feathered game dishes.
Suitable for Vegans
