The wine has well integrated oak, focussed and elegant tannins with a silky persistent finish. Grenache delivers perfumed lift, juicy red berry fruits, Shiraz adds fleshy plum and strawberries, Old vine tannins provide elegance and structure. Mourvedre ties the palate together as it adds tannin volume and earthy texture. This is a classic regional blend that shows off the varieties that do well and is also fantastic with food.

WINEMAKING

The 70 year old vine Shiraz was matured in 2, 3 and 4 year old French and American oak, and barrels selected for their spice, character and sweet tannin profiles. The 60 and 80 year old vine Grenache was matured in older French and American puncheons, and selected for the perfumed lift and tannin elegance and power. The Mourvédre spent time in new, 1 and 2-year-old French and American oak puncheons and was selected for its earthy texture and ability to tie the blend together.
