Bright red and really youthful in the glass. Pretty aromas of dried herbs, violets, blueberry, cherry and bramble. Sweet, fleshy, blue fruited and fragrant on the palate. There’s a plushness and roundness to the fruit and it has a real generosity of flavour. The tannins and acid both perform admirably and bring texture, shape and cut. Lovely drinking

This is a Grenache and Mataro blend from the Barossa. The varieties are processed separately before going into all older oak for 10 months maturation. The perfumed aromas of raspberry and cherry are immediately evident. The palate picks up on these characters but then the grainy slightly gravelly tannin characters add another dimension that lifts this to a new place beyond a simple fruit driven wine. Balanced and poised. Drink 2023 - 2038.
