When in come’s to Grenache Shiraz few can compete with the iconic southern French Rhone blend of Grenache and Shiraz . It’s the quintessential blend for the style.
This Barossa Valley Grenache Shiraz example is on point. Visually striking it’s a true winner. Lovely texture and dry in style, fruit focused and layered up with flavour. Think Raspberry and stone fruits and spicy core and savoury tannin. No doubt the gentle work in the winery is on show here allowing the wine to sing.
From the hand picking of the 70yo bush vines, to the whole bunch pressing to extract the flavours, to the long cool ferment and natural settling on lees for aging and flavour development. Then slumber in French oak to really layer out the texture. We don’t need to go on anymore, the quality here is in the bottle.
