93 Point Rated - Nicole Bilson Wine Pilot

"Crafted from old vines but designed to be drunk relatively young, this wine proves that quality Barossa fruit doesn’t need fancy winemaking. Grenache stars in this blend with mataro supporting and just a cameo appearance (5%) from shiraz. It’s overflowing with juicy black cherries, sundried blackberries, a lovely savoury roasted lamb meatiness (those charry edge bits!) and a pantry-full of herbs and spices – star anise, dried rosemary and thyme, freshly grated nutmeg, a hint of Sichuan pepper. The remarkable thing is that this all comes from the fruit, not a lick of oak! At 15% alcohol it’s not a shy wine but I had  to go back and double-check that number because there’s no heat. Powdery tannins and supple acidity round out the picture. "

"67/23/10% grenache/mataro/shiraz, sourced from 40–150yo vines, mostly dry grown, across 6 districts in western and northern Barossa. No oak. Ticking every box for the classic Aussie barbecue quaffer, this is a bright, sprightly and downright delicious GSM. Balancing juicy, spicy fruit flesh, tangy acid poise, supple tannin presence and herbal complexity, from mostly dry-grown vineyards in this hot, dry season, without relying on a skerrick of oak. Kudos. Alcohol brings warmth without heat or dryness to a well-resolved conclusion."

"A tank-aged blend of 72% Grenache, 23% Mourvèdre and 5% Shiraz, the 2019 Cuvee Juveniles features notes of red raspberries and cherries lightly dusted with hints of cinnamon, clove and allspice. Medium to full-bodied, it's a smooth and supple, easy-to-drink—almost chuggable—wine for near-term enjoyment.
