🍷 Appearance
Deep ruby to crimson in the glass with vibrant purple hues, showing the richness and youthful intensity typical of McLaren Vale red blends.
👃 Aroma (Nose)
Lifted aromas of ripe dark plum, blackberry and spice from Shiraz are complemented by floral rose petal notes and bright red cherry characters contributed by Grenache.
👅 Palate
Juicy and expressive with flavours of plum, black cherry and red berries. The Shiraz component provides depth, peppery spice and richness, while Grenache adds freshness, red fruit vibrancy and aromatic lift.
⚖️ Structure
Medium-bodied with smooth, supple tannins and balanced acidity. The wine shows a restrained, elegant structure while maintaining generous fruit weight.
🔚 Finish
Bright and lively with lingering red and dark fruit flavours and a subtle savoury edge. The finish is smooth, fresh and well balanced.
🍇 Overall Style
A classic McLaren Vale Shiraz-Grenache blend—supple, fruit-driven and approachable. It combines the spicy richness of Shiraz with the floral perfume and juicy red fruit character of Grenache for a harmonious and versatile Australian red.
🍽️ Food Pairing
Ideal with grilled lamb, gourmet burgers, barbecue meats, roast vegetables or Mediterranean dishes.
