With a deep plum colour, this medium-bodied wine is perfectly balanced, while still showing the finest points of each varietal. The Grenache contributes the core bright red fruit aromatics and sweet, dark berry flavours on the palate while the Shiraz intensifies the palate with earthy notes and enriches the weight. The Mourvèdre ties the blend together by adding soft spice notes to the aroma and palate while lingering long on the finish.
All the parcels of fruit were loaded into separate small open-top fermenters and the fruit was allowed to initiate fermentation naturally and then inoculated mid-ferment to guarantee completion. The ferments were submerged with French oak boards and allowed to warm naturally before being pressed and placed into French oak barriques where malolactic fermentation was undertaken. After 10 months of maturation, the wines were blended to produce a wine that is greater than the sum of its parts.
Grenache 45% Shiraz 37% Mourvedre 18%
93 Point Rated - Toni Paterson James Halliday Wine Companion
"These classic Rhone varietals have been expertly blended to create a wine with harmony and flow. The wine offers effortless drinking, with flavoursome dark cherry fruit accented by black pepper, anise, and red rose. Everything is in balance, and there are no harsh edges. Rather delicious."
90 Point Rated - Shanteh Wale Wine Pilot
"Grenache 45% Shiraz 37% Mourvèdre 18%. Raspberry, red cherries, black plum and mulberry. An assortment of red and black hues. Picked thyme, kalamata olive and dark chocolate mint. What follows is turned earth or potting soil savoury notes on the mid palate. This is a wine that delivers flavours right through from front to back, first sip to the last. Its lively and crunchy red fruit meet a savoury meaty mid palate followed by a hint of spice and hug of oak with pancetta and peppercorn the lasting impressions. Certainly a wine utilising the best of all three varieties in a cohesive way. I’d like to see this alongside charred meats, perhaps something skewered and on an open flame. Marinated lamb, pickled beans and flatbread would be a treat. Dressed in a puffy down jacket and crowded round a fire would be even more enticing."
