Tasting Note
Colour: Bright cherry red
Aroma: A lifted nose dominated by red cherries, raspberry, and strawberry with hints of dried flowers, cinnamon and clove.
Palate: A balanced, smooth palate bursting with bright fruits such as red cherry, raspberry, and strawberry combine with plum, cassis all supported by elegant silky tannins that lead to a long, persistent, and focussed finish.
The Old Vine Grenache parcel delivers perfumed lift and juicy red berry fruits, with the Old Vine Shiraz parcel adding blackcurrant and strawberries on the mid-palate. The old vine tannins provide the wine elegance and structure with the Mourvèdre tying the palate together with tannin volume and earthy texture.
Food Pairing
This is a classic McLaren Vale blend that shows off the varieties that do well. Fantastic with an array of foods.
