Reviews and Ratings

Matt Steeves - Certified Sommelier rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Frank Hellwig, an Australian winemaker, with nearly a decade of winemaking experience in Canada, has crafted a delicious red blend (80% Shiraz & 20% Grenache) that's guranteed to resonate with Canadian wine enthusiasts looking for a full-flavoured sub $20 bottle of wine, making it ideally suited for enjoying any evening of the week!

Sourced from some of South Australia's finest regions, including McLaren Vale, Barossa Valley, and Clare Valley, this big and juicy red bland is chalked full of stewed dark fruits, sweet baking spices, and smoky notes. Frank Hellwig Shiraz Grenache is a wine you're going to love this winter with tangy braised short ribs, chilis and stews, or simply on its own! Highly recommended and what a great choice for entertaining. Tasted November 2020. 89-90 points. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca
Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Fruit forward with a hint of spice. Aromas of red berry and currant, along with black pepper and a bit of smoke. Full bodied, with medium, smooth tannins, bright acidity, and fresh, ripe berry hints. Lots of black pepper on the finish. Enjoy with grilled burgers or ribs.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
