This is a blend of 55% Shiraz, 28% Grenache and 17% Mourvedre grapes. A super smooth texture yields layers of black cherry, cranberry, black raspberry and plum. Some enticing notes of hickory smoke and cedar box in the background.

Shiraz Grenache Mourvèdre food pairings: spicy chicken sausage, Ethiopian stewed chicken, pot roast, game casseroles, grilled vegetables.

Sarah Goodman reviewed this wine as follows:

love!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Colour of medium depth; a powerful, concentrated wine more akin to McLaren Vale than the normal Barossa model; old vines and controlled yields at work giving the blackberry and plum fruit, plus the ripe tannins. Drink by 2019. Score: 94 Source: James Halliday, winecompanion.com.au

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.
