Barossa Valley South Australia. With this wine they have managed to bring together "a Spaniard, an Italian and a little something French”, with an accent on being Mediterranean. Spain’s Tempranillo, the Sangiovese of Central Italy and Shiraz, which originates in France’s warmer Rhone Valley, are three contrasting but friendly varieties.
Careful planning goes into the makeup of this medium-bodied blend. There is a synergy with the co-fermentation of the low acid Tempranillo and the high acid Sangiovese. A small amount of Shiraz was later included in the blend, which softened the tannins slightly. This is the seventh vintage of this wine, which has gathered an impressive count of medal wins in its short history.
This Mediterranean blend shows the best of its two main components: aromas of black cherries and plums from the ‘Sangio’, and spice and brambles from the ’Temp’. A hint of blackberry and pepper come from the Shiraz.
It is carefully a medium-bodied wine, with flavours consistent with the nose, a velvety texture and softly drying tannins.
