Grand Barossa Grenache Shiraz Mourvèdre 2024

A Barossa blend of Grenache (44%), Shiraz (38%) and Mourvèdre (18%), the wine spent six months maturing in a mixed of seasoned French and American oak.
An attractive ruby maroon hue, the nose offers bright red cherries, spices and a hint of mulberries. Red fruits to the fore. Delightfully lifted aromatics, this is fresh and joyful. Decent length here, with good balance and fine tannins, this is quite delicious and will remain so for at least the next four to six years, likely longer. This is absolutely cracking value. A case or two of this in the cellar is wise buying, indeed.

Delightfully fruited and inviting, the bouquet shows Black Doris plum, raspberry, olive, clove, and toasted almond characters. It's beautifully rounded and expressive in the mouth, offering bright fruit flavours with fine tannins, making it immediately appealing and highly enjoyable. At its best: now to 2032.

This is a thoroughly delicious blend that captures the famous style of the Barossa. It’s medium-bodied but packs plenty of fruit intensity, revealing a black cherry and raspberry nuance with a lift of cracked pepper. It’s more about fruit, so oak is subordinated. A wine that screams to be drunk in its exuberant early years. Cellar: 6 years

The fruit flavours here are more in the red fruit spectrum – think raspberry and even red cherry – than they are in the black, but it still feels generous and most importantly, it tastes delicious. Sweet spice, red licorice, hay and bright, mouthwatering raspberry flavours comnbine to put on a lovely, highly drinkable, show.
